Deploy docker image on production server

General

Hi,
I have docker image of .net application on my local and now want to deploy this on production server. What is required to install on production server? I have Windows server Os. Does Docker Desktop installation is required or only Docker Engine is suffice.
If yes then please give me steps to install docker engine with script file.

Thanks
Mahendra

Docker Desktop is not supported on Windows server and never was.
You can follow the documentation from Microsoft for Windows containers (Windows is inside the container). It is also for development and not for production.

Or create a Linux VM (I believe WSL2 could work on Windows Server 2022) and install Docker CE in it.

Thanks for reply. Yes I have Docker Desktop on my local machine where I have created the image. Now I want to deploy that image on production server(Windows Server). That is my requirement. So how to do that. Because if I need to run that image on production server I will need Docker there as well. What is standard way of doing that.

Thanks,
Mahendra

I thought I shared the link to the documentation. I see it was indeed a link to running a container not installing Docker, although the correct link is just above the shared one in the menu in the documentation.
