With the official release of Windows Nano Server 2016 to the public I have decided to revise most of my Nano Server articles to reflect the latest release.
In this article I’ll show you how I Install Docker on.
To get started:
- Download Nano Server 2016
- Join It to the Domain (optional)
- Connect to It using Remote PowerShell.
- Install the Windows Containers role
Next Install the Docker PowerShell Provider Module
Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
Next I’ll Install the Docker package
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
Restart Server to Finish Installation
Restart-computer -force
Install Nano Server container Image
Import-Module DockerMsftProvider start-service docker docker pull microsoft/nanoserver
For Windows Server Core Image use:
docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore
Restart the Docker service and that’s It.
Restart-Service docker
