Build Docker Container in a VM running Windows Server 2019

rsaritzky

Hi all,

Has anyone had success using bccontainerhelper to build a Docker image inside a VM that is running Windows Server 2019? I believe I've installed Docker correctly - it shows that the service is running and the Hyper-V and Containers are active in Server Manager.

I'm trying to build various images, but here's an example:

Get-BcArtifactUrl -type sandbox -country us -select latest >> New-BCContainer -accept_eula -containerName test -artifactUrl $artifactUrl

Here's the error:

DockerDo : docker: Error response from daemon: hcsshim::CreateComputeSystem 08d66bf89e97d1b465493f2f16def4b3162393a78caf8d66e5482345f6b38ea6: The

I've followed troubleshooting help and have run commands to enable virtualization, but still am stuck here.

Here' the output from "docker version"

Has anyone tried this? Solution?

Thx

Yep, I have 5 Hyper-V VMs, 4 of which are on Windows Server 2019, and one on 2022. All of them have Docker Enterprise installed and are using BCContainerHelper to create containers. No problem for me. For specific support, file an issue on GitHub here: https://github.com/microsoft/navcontainerhelper/issues Freddy monitors that and he usually responds pretty quickly.
