Join For FreeThis blog is part of a multi-part series. The first part showed how to set up Windows Server 2016 as a VirtualBox VM. This second part will show how to configure Docker on Windows 2016 VM.
Start an elevated PowerShell session:
Run the script to install Docker:
Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider
Restart-Computer -ForceThis will install the PowerShell module, enable containers feature and install Docker.
The VM needs to be restarted in order for the containers to be enabled. Refer to Container Host Deployment – Windows Server for more detailed instructions.
The VM reboots. Start a PowerShell and check the Docker version using docker version:
More details about Docker can be found using the docker info command:
Run your first Docker container using the docker run -it -p 80:80 microsoft/iis command:
This will download the Microsoft IIS server Docker image. This is going to take a while so please be patient!Once the 8.9 GB image is downloaded (after a while), the IIS server is started for you. Check the list of images using the docker images command and the list of running containers using the docker ps command:
More details about the container can be found using the docker inspect command:
