About This Image

This is a base image for Windows Server containers. This image carries the insider version of the Nano Server base OS image.

How to Use this Image

Windows requires the host OS version to match the container OS version. If you want to run a container based on a newer Windows build, make sure you have an equivalent host build. Otherwise, you can use Hyper-V isolation to run older containers on new host builds. You can read more on Windows Container Version Compatibility in our Container Docs.

The default entrypoint is for this image is Cmd.exe. To run the image:

docker run mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver/insider:10.0.{build}.{revision}

Configuration

  • If you intend to run the container with Hyper-V isolation, The Hyper-V role must be installed on the host first.
