Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. See above command (docker image build)
  2. HyperV and containers are installed and enabled, I followed the official docker install guide for Windows Server 2016, nested virtualization is also running, VMWare. Also [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“LCOW_SUPPORTED”, “1”, “Machine”) IS SET.

Expected. Docker has no magic to run Linux binaries on Windows hosts. Note, docker for Windows puts up a Linux host as vm to run Linux binaries ‘on windows’, wink-wink.
