#DOCKER DESKTOP WINDOWS SERVER 2019 INSTALL#

Probably we have to wait a little longer to see a better experience to install this feature. In this combination LCOW really works, but I cannot say how stable it is and if it's officially supported. So I tried the steps to manually install the LinuxKit kernel and updated to the latest Docker EE 18.03.1-ee-3 version. I could not find any announcement at MS Ignite about Linux Containers on Windows. With Windows Server 2019 it is possible to do the same with the Docker named pipe. Some tools like Traefik, Portainer UI or another Docker client want to access the Docker API and we know we could bind the Unix socket into Linux containers.

I was also able to access the published port of a web server running in Windows containers.ДЄfter scaling that service up to have it running multiple times spread over all swarm nodes I also could see the load-balancing is working in such a Windows-only cluster.ДЄnother nice improvement is that you can bind Windows named pipes from the host into Windows containers. And I'm happy to see that you can create a Windows-only Docker Swarm with manager nodes and worker nodes. I have tried one of the latest Insider builds to create a Docker Swarm with multiple Windows machines. This is what we are used with Linux containers since the beginning and now you no longer have to find out the container IP address to access your application. When you bind a container port to a host port your containerized application can be accessed with localhost from the host.

#DOCKER DESKTOP WINDOWS SERVER 2019 UPDATE#

I'll update the blog post when I found the image name for the full Windows image. (still 404) docker pull /windows/nanoserver:1809Дocker pull /windows/servercore:ltsc2019 Update: I found two of the three images in the description on Docker Hub here: The latest information that can be found is on Docker Hub for the Insider images: The registry does not have an UI.ДЄt the time of writing this blog post the new Docker images are not available. The Windows base images has always been hosted on Microsoft CDN as 'foreign layers', so really only the tag names changes.ДЄ good question is where can you find the new images. The tags on Docker Hub are still there and you still will be able to pull the images with the old image name for a while.

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore:ltsc2016 Watch out the additional slash / for the Windows Server Core image. The following example shows the old and the new image name. You only have to remember to change the microsoft/ to /. What you have to know is that the name for the base images will slightly change. Microsoft has started to move its Docker images from the Docker Hub into a own container registry. But notice you still cannot RDP into such Windows containers. One use-case is for automation workloads like automated UI tests.

This image gives you an even broader support for your Windows applications than just the core image. In addition to the two known Windows base images for Windows Server Core and Nano Server there is now a third base image: Windows With the very small /windows/nanoserver:1809 image you will see applications at about 100 MByte (compressed) on Docker Hub. The sizes in the diagram below are the sizes after downloading and expanding the Docker images and running the docker images command. The container images have been shrunk down to 1/3 to 1/4 of the equivalent 2016 images. The containers team at Microsoft has improved the size of the Windows base images. I normally create fresh machines with the new operating system, but this update really looks interesting to get access to these new technology. So it is possible to run Windows Containers after updating your server, adding the Containers feature and installing Docker on your server. We have seen some of that changes in the semi-annual releases of 17, and now the long-term supported release has all the latest and greatest updates available.ДЇirst of all if you have older Windows Servers running it is possible to install an in-place update to this new release. Since the last two years after Windows Server 2016 first introduced Windows Container support a lot of things have improved. This is a big new release with a lot of improvements using Docker with Windows Containers.

Last week at MS Ignite Microsoft has announced the new Windows Server 2019 which will be general available in October.
