Docker Datacenter on Windows Server 2016? - docker

I feel like I'm getting mixed signals about Docker DataCenter on Windows Server 2016. There are some notes about it running natively on Windows, but is this so and is there any estimates to when?

It was announced back in September 2016, Read about its official launch here at docker blog
https://blog.docker.com/2016/09/dockerforws2016/
Few things to consider while running Docker on Windows server 2016 :
Install the feature "Containers" from adds roles and features .
Install the container support, before installing docker you need to install this support.
open powershell and run :
Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
3. Install Docker
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
4. Restart your server
Restart-Computer -Force
you are good to go.
Hope this will help.

Error response from daemon:TLS handshake timeout on docker

I installed Docker on Windows Server 2019 using the following commands
Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
Start-Service Docker
To Running Linux containers on Windows Server 2019
Uninstall-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMSFTProvider
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("LCOW_SUPPORTED", "$null", "Machine")
Install-Module DockerProvider
Install-Package Docker -ProviderName DockerProvider -RequiredVersion preview
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("LCOW_SUPPORTED", "1", "Machine")
Restart-Service docker
I encountered this error when I tried to pull an image or log in to Docker Hub
Error response from daemon:TLS handshake timeout
I would appreciate it if someone could help me
I searched for this error and did not get a definite answer
There is no problem in your installation. Internet in Iran has been disrupted since 2 months ago and for many websites TLS handshake has been disrupted.
To fix this you need to use vpn or use shecan.ir as your dns.

Install Docker on Windows Server 2016 (server not connected to internet)

Can we install docker on Windows Server 2016(not connected to internet)

Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider

Docker on Windows Server not stable

I'm using Docker Desktop on Windows 10 with Windows containers without any problems.
Now, I also want to use Docker on Windows Server, I've tried Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 so far.
I can install Docker Enterprise without any problems, I can start a container based on the nanoserver image without problems. But after a while (something between 10 and 20 minutes), the container terminates.
Has anyone seen such a behavior? Is this the expected behavior?
The Windows is
OS Name: Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard
OS Version: 10.0.17763 N/A Build 17763
I've installed Docker with this commands:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Containers
Uninstall-WindowsFeature Windows-Defender
Restart-Computer -Force
Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force -RequiredVersion 19.03
Start-Service docker
Afterwards I can use the docker ps command and I can start the nanoserver image using the command
docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1809 cmd
The container starts and I can use it.
But when I leave it open and do nothing within, after a while it terminated.
The same happens with the image servercore:ltsc2019 and images derived from that one.

How to run docker-compose under WSL 2

According to Docker documentation, using Docker under WSL v2 should be fairly simple:
Install WSL 2 (make sure all the preconditions are met);
Install Docker Desktop 2.2.0 or newer;
In Docker Settings > General enable 'Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS' and 'Enable the experimental WSL 2 based engine';
Make sure no Docker-related packages are installed in your Linux file system.
Once all this is done, I should be able to run docker or docker-compose commands from my Linux Terminal. But I'm not. I keep getting Command 'docker' not found, but can be installed with sudo apt install docker.io'.
What am I doing wrong?
Did you check if the integration is enabled in Resources > WSL Integration as below?
Have you made sure that wsl2 is enabled for your distro? Run this in Powershell
wsl -l -v
If your distro is not on WSL 2 then enable it like this.
wsl --set-version <Distro> 2
Install docker and docker-compose.
Type in the terminal:
sudo service docker start
sudo service --status-all | grep '+'

Getting Docker CLI automatically installed on server 2016/2019

Does anyone know how to install docker including docker CLI in an automated way on windows servers??
I have found the following code to enable containerization and install docker engine.
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Containers -All
reboot here
Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Force
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force
I try to find docker cli under C:\Program files\Docker\Docker
Everything else is there, CLI plugins, docker.exe, etc.. the packages are also installed successfully on ver 19
I need the docker CLI as I want to automatically move to "windows containers" after the installation
