No able to build the example code

Docker Desktop

Hi,

My docker is on Windows 2016. I am facing issue while building the example given here https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part2/

I hev switched to Linux container. It will be great help, if someone gives me idea how to proceed from here.

Command outputs are as following.

PS C:\apps\Docker> ls
Directory: C:\apps\Docker

PS C:\apps\Docker> docker --version

PS C:\apps\Docker> docker build -t friendlyhello .

Hi

Its because you have selected that you want to use windows container, but python:2.7-slim is build from linux (debian)
So, you can either click on the docker icon on your taskbar, and select “switch to linux containers”, or you can add this to your docker build: --platform linux (this requires you to enable experimental mode)
