Hello, I have Windows 2016 Standard configured and running. Based on the docker documentation here: Sign in to Docker Desktop | Docker Docs , I tried to install Docker for Windows. But I get the error “The versopn of Docker required Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise or Education edition with a minimum bui…

Yeah, those docs are not great. To install on Windows Server 2016, see this guide: https://github.com/docker/labs/blob/master/windows/windows-containers/Setup-Server2016.md

Not able to access the link. Can we install Docker Desktop on Windows server 2016 Standard. As per the docker link https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/ , can only install on Windows 10.

What if my development environment is server 2016… Is there any update on installing docker desktop on a windows 2016 dev box?
