Docker container (on Windows) configuration file location

[1bit]

Hi,

I am working Docker containers on windows and I have faced some issues. It seems I could solved but I must check container configuration. Unfortunately I do not know where is the configuratin file of containers.

I work with Windows Server 2016 TP4 and I found some container files in C:\ProgramData\Docker\containers directory. Although I found some json files inside these directories they are do not contain any configuration entries.

GUID-json.log
config.json
hostconfig.json

Do you know where is the real configuration files which belong to container?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I have found them.

Configuration file in Windows: “C:\ProgramData\Docker\Containers<GUID of container>\config.json” és “C:\ProgramData\Docker\Containers<GUID of container>\hostconfig.json“

Notice:
Please make a copy from the configuration files. That could be usefull when yor container does not want to start adfter a Docker host restart. When you meet this message: “Win32 API call returned error r1=2147942452 err=You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. If joining a domain, go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again.” you merely need to overwrite the cinfig files from backup then your container will start correctly.
