We have an install of Windows Server 2022 and want to utilise the built in Docker that comes with it. Is there a way to change the container OS when performing a docker build so that it uses Linux containers.
This is possible in Docker Desktop running on Windows 10 by right clicking the docker icon in the system tray and selecting "switch to windows/linux containers". Is this possible to do in Windows Server 2022?
Thanks

I want to run a Linux Docker-Container on Windows Server-2022 without to login to windows and starting Docker Desktop.
I managed to create a Windows-Service for dockerd. But there I can not create Linux-Containers. Errormessage:
docker: image operating system "linux" cannot be used on this platform.
As docker runs as a Windows-Service, I can not change the Engine with dockerCLI, or I don't no how. This solution changes the Engine for my Windows-User but not for the Windows-Service. On my Windows-User I can run Linux-Containers without a Problem.
My Question is: How can I run a Linux Docker-Container permanently on Windows Server 2022 without the need to login on Windows?
You can achieve this by installing WSL2 on the machine and run docker through WSL2

How to run linux and windows container on docker running in windows server 2022?
It is possible with lcow but this is deprecated now.
When running in experimental mode it is working because of lcow, but this is deprecated now.
To run windows containers on windows server read this, looks like a step-by-step howto: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/about/
To run linux containers on windows server, well, you could do WSL2 on windows server to have a linux in a minivm and install docker on it, but whats the point, I would not bother with it, just get a linux server for linux containers.
I checked out some tutorials but the Daemon tab is already missing with the current version of Docker Desktop(4.8.1). Under the "Docker Engine" tab, I set the 'experimental' field to 'true' but it looks like it is still not working.
The "platform" parameter isn't working.
What works:
Running linux based containers, Switch to Windows containers... and
run windows containers. Running containers will keep on running. You'll find it on right-click on system tray
of Docker Desktop.
Pull windows and linux based containers in Windows mode, but NOT in linux mode
Creating a compose file and use the keys platform: linux and platform: windows mixed, while running Windows container mode. Compose will choose the daemon for you.
You can not:
Build images on a daemon not supporting the OS of the image, see Roadmap
I don't know whats wrong in your case. In Windows Mode with
{
"experimental": true
}
(you have to set it again in Windows Mode, there are 2 different daemon settings)
you should be able to pull linux and windows images. Just checked with docker desktop 4.9.0 (prebuild), can't pull in 4.8.1 due to bug in proxy settings..
I am using Docker desktop for windows.
Docker Engine
v20.10.5
I want to see the logs of a container that is not starting up due to some error. I do have a container if of the container.
The question is where can I find docker container logs on Microsoft Windows 10 enterprise edition operating system using Docker desktop for windows.
The answer Windows 10 and Docker container logs / Docker Logging driver doesn't works for me :(

I have a solution that includes about 5 containers. Most of them are alpine linux based, but one has to be a windows container. Unfortunately, the windows container relies on one of the linux containers for authentication and must be able to run alongside it. I am trying to set things up so I can develop locally with both containers running at the same time but I am having some trouble. Is it possible to run both Windows and Linux containers simultaneously on a Windows 10 Pro host using Docker for Windows (Hyper-V version)?
Essentially what I am looking for is the equivalent of running a docker compose file with both linux and windows containers in it (although everything I have researched says this isn't possible).
It looks like docker edge version 18.02 has the ability to run windows and linux containers next to each other using LCOW (Linux Containers on Windows). It hasn't made it into docker-compose yet, but I think it will very soon. Can't wait for the stable version to have this!
