Updated 👍
The experimental feature to run Linux containers on Windows (LCOW) was introduced as a technical preview in Docker 17.09. While many enhancements were made after its introduction, the feature never reached completeness, and development has now stopped in favor of running docker natively on Linux in WSL2. Developers that need to run Linux workloads on a Windows host are encouraged to use Docker Desktop with WSL2 instead. Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <[email protected]>

@thaJeztah As LCOW is deprecated and Docker Desktop with WSL2 the replacement, I wonder how to run Docker under a Windows Server with WSL2? Is this even possible at the moment, because Docker Desktop does not run on Windows Server without a gui and Docker EE i guess(?) |
