Having trouble with some of the early commands the tutorial has me try out. Example 1: Pull a base image that’s compatible with Windows and do a test-run: docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore docker run microsoft/windowsservercore hostname 69c7de26ea48 I wasn’t sure whether the third line is a wordwrap from the previous line, but doesn’t work if you use that as a hostname either. Throws and error. Example 2: If you run the command below (one line), you’ll get an error. “FROM microsoft/windowsservercore `n CMD echo Hello World!” | docker build -t mydocker-id/windows-test-image - …where mydocker-id is replaced with my real dockerid. Is there something I’m missing? There’s little explanation on the parts of this command, but it too gives me an error. I’ve never seen a command start with something in embedded quotes. It doesn’t work. Throws and error. So… What should a noob do to surmount all of this? Is there anyone writing these tutorials that I can contact? Kindest regards ---
