I just found this topic and moved from Community to General Discussions since the Community category is not for asking from the community. See the description
Since Docker Desktop does not support Windows Server, it is not an option. There were some people in the past who tried to install it and someone even succeeded if I remember correctly, but you should find an other way. The answer would depend on which type of containers you want to use (Windows Container or Linux Container). I don’t know about Windows Containers on Windows Server, but you could run Linux containers in a Linux virtual machine or using WSL2 on Windows Server 2022. That would not require a subscription unless you want enjoy the benefits of Pro, Team or Business like bigger rate limits and features on Docker Hub.
