I need to install Docker on a Windows Server 2016 datacenter. It’s urgent. Can you help me?
You can’t really install Docker on Windows, it’s a Linux tool.
You can not use Docker Desktop (which is a development tool, anyway) (doc):
Docker Desktop is not supported on server versions of Windows
You may be able to install plain Docker Engine inside a Linux VM, like WSL.
For Windows containers
@bluepuma77 your statement is partially correct. Docker works on Windows. Docker Desktop can be installed on Windows client (10 and 11). Docker engine (Docker CE/Moby) can be installed on Windows Server. The thing is they are there for Windows containers. We don’t know from the initial post what the user is trying to run - Linux or Windows containers.
@jreyesp Can you please confirm what are you trying to accomplish? If it’s just installing Docker on Windows Server, the instructions from Ákos should be enough.
