How do I add a D: drive to the microsoft/windowsservercore base image?
My Windows Server 2016 server has a D: drive. The server is an AWS instance.
This is with native Docker installed and not the "Docker for Windows" that has been around for a while.
We got it to work. Essentially, we're adding a symbolic link in the registry.
Add this to the dockerfile:
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path C:\drived ; \
New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices' -Name 'D:' -Value '\??\C:\drived' -PropertyType String;
I did this using the subst command:
mkdir c:\drived
subst d: c:\drived
I think such a drive is only visible in the current session, so it wouldn't work if you are using Windows services.

I need to remotely run a command on my window's workstation from my osx workstation using docker.
Works locally:
docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/powershell pwsh -c "Write-Host 'Hello, World'"`
Hello, World
Doesn't work remote:
docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/powershell pwsh -c Invoke-Command -ComputerName VM-CHIP -ScriptBlock { Write-Host 'Hello, World' }
Invoke-Command: This parameter set requires WSMan, and no supported WSMan client library was found. WSMan is either not installed or unavailable for this system.
When I try within the container
docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/powershell

it fails with
OpenError: [VM-CHIP] Connecting to remote server VM-CHIP failed with the following error message : MI_RESULT_FAILED For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
I'm confused what the structure is to run this within a single command intead of having to open interactive, and more importantly what am I missing to successfully execute the command on the remote machine instead of this MI_RESULT_FAILED error. Or is this not possible/supported?
I'm planning to build Docker EE images in dynamic Jenkins agent running in Kubernetes pods and therefore need either
a Docker image providing both the Jenkins Agent functionality and Docker. Currently I'm using jenkins/jnlp-agent:latest-windows as image to run on a Windows LTSC node pool which seems to provide the Jenkins agent functionality adequately or
a way to extend jenkins/jnlp-agent:latest-windows so that it allows to run Docker as well. My naive approach
FROM jenkins/jnlp-agent:latest-windows
SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"]
USER ContainerAdministrator
COPY install-docker.ps1 .
RUN ./install-docker.ps1

Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force -ErrorAction Continue
Install-Package -Force -ErrorAction Continue -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/set-up-environment?tabs=Windows-Server fails due to

or
a Docker-in-Docker Container for Docker EE on Windows which exposes a Docker TCP socket and allows the Jenkins agent container to connect to it.
The setup should run on Windows Server 2019 node pools provided by Google Kubernetes Engine. I'm aware that Windows Pools are beta currently.
In case someone has an idea how to get the second approach working, it'd still be necessary to run the setup as user jenkins rather than container administrator in order to increase security.
Try to create a service in the Dockerfile.
RUN powershell New-Service -Name “RSDataQualityWorkerPool” -BinaryPathName “C:\WWW\WinServices\RSDataQualityWorkerPool\RSDataQualityWorkerPool.exe”
Start it in the running container.
Start-Service -Name “RSDataQualityWorkerPool”
Take a look here: windows-jnlp-jenkins, docker-service-on-windows.
I am using Windows 10 Pro.
My Docker file:
FROM microsoft/iis
SHELL ["powershell","-command"]
RUN New-Item -Path $env:systemdrive\inetpub\XpServerDllFiles -Type Directory
COPY ./BeastClientPlugIn.dll /inetpub/XpServerDllFiles
RUN Start-Process C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe C:/inetpub/XpServerDllFiles/BeastClientPlugIn.dll
EXPOSE 4849
regsvr32 /S
The /S makes it graphically silent, and allows the registration to complete.
Have fun!
I'm attempting to get RabbitMQ up and running inside a Windows container but without a whole lot of luck. I've copied into the container the installation directories for RabbitMQ and Erlang but when I attempt to run erl.exe I'm told that beam.smp.dll is not able to be loaded.
PS C:\Program Files\erl8.2\bin> .\erl.exe
Unable to load emulator DLL
(C:\Program Files\erl8.2\erts-8.2\bin\beam.smp.dll)
Running the same command on the same installation directory on the host machine works just fine. I've checked that the file exists and that the checksums match. My bet is that there is some subtile difference in how the container loads the file and how the host loads the file. I'm just not sure where to even start looking.
Here is my Dockerfile which works. I can connect to RabbitMQ and the logs show it is running correctly, and I can login to the management UI using the guest/guest login from my host using IP/hostname of container.

I have a website that runs on ssl i.e. https, I want to deploy it to Docker Windows Containers with Docker Desktop for Windows. So I wanted to ask how can it be done, I have added the certificates to the container, and when I use
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command certmgr.exe -add MyCert.cer -s -r localMachine trustedpublisher
It gives this error.
certmgr.exe : The term 'certmgr.exe' is not recognized as the name of a
cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
So can you explain how would it be done?
certmgr.exe
needs Visual Studio so it cant be run in Containers. Following is a way to do it if it helps anyone. Add this in the docker file when you are creating the image
RUN mkdir C:\cert
#cert folder contains the certificates YourCertificate.cer & Name.pfx
ADD cert/ /cert
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
certutil -addstore "Root" "C:/cert/YourCertificate.cer"
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
certutil -importpfx -p "password" "C:/cert/Name.pfx"
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
New-WebBinding -Name "YourWebsite" -IP "*" -Port 1234 -Protocol https
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
get-item cert:\LocalMachine\MY\thumbprint-of-your-cert | New-Item 0.0.0.0!1234
1234 is the port which you can bind with your website. It will bind your website to the certificate.
