Docker Enterprise Edition for Windows Server (Docker EE) enables native Docker containers on Windows Server. Windows Server 2016 and later versions are supported. The Docker EE installation package includes everything you need to run Docker on Windows Server. This topic describes pre-install considerations, and how to download and install Docker EE.

Release notes for all versions

Install Docker EE

Docker EE for Windows requires Windows Server 2016 or later. See What to know before you install for a full list of prerequisites.

  1. Open a PowerShell command prompt, and type the following commands.

    Install-Module DockerMsftProvider -Force
Install-Package Docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force

  2. Check if a reboot is required, and if yes, restart your instance:

    (Install-WindowsFeature Containers).RestartNeeded

    If the output of this command is Yes, then restart the server with:

    Restart-Computer

  3. Test your Docker EE installation by running the hello-world container.

    docker run hello-world:nanoserver

Unable to find image 'hello-world:nanoserver' locally

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

(optional) Make sure you have all required updates

Some advanced Docker features, such as swarm mode, require the fixes included in KB4015217 (or a later cumulative patch).

sconfig

Select option 6) Download and Install Updates.

Use a script to install Docker EE

Use the following steps when you want to install manually, script automated installs, or install on air-gapped systems.

  1. In a PowerShell command prompt, download the installer archive on a machine that has a connection.

    # On an online machine, download the zip file.
invoke-webrequest -UseBasicparsing -Outfile {{ filename }} {{ download_url }}

  2. Copy the zip file to the machine where you want to install Docker. In a PowerShell command prompt, use the following commands to extract the archive, register, and start the Docker service.

    #Stop Docker service
Stop-Service docker

# Extract the archive.
Expand-Archive {{ filename }} -DestinationPath $Env:ProgramFiles -Force

# Clean up the zip file.
Remove-Item -Force {{ filename }}

# Install Docker. This requires rebooting.
$null = Install-WindowsFeature containers

# Add Docker to the path for the current session.
$env:path += ";$env:ProgramFiles\docker"

# Optionally, modify PATH to persist across sessions.
$newPath = "$env:ProgramFiles\docker;" +
[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH",
[EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", $newPath,
[EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

# Register the Docker daemon as a service.
dockerd --register-service

# Start the Docker service.
Start-Service docker

  3. Test your Docker EE installation by running the hello-world container.

    docker container run hello-world:nanoserver

Install a specific version

There are currently two channels available for Docker EE for Windows Server:

  • 17.06 - Use this version if you're using Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker Engine, UCP, DTR). 17.06 is the default.
  • 18.03 - Use this version if you're running Docker EE Engine alone.

To install a specific version, use the RequiredVersion flag:

Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force -RequiredVersion 18.03
...
Name                      Version               Source           Summary
----                      -------               ------           -------
Docker                    18.03.1-ee-2          Docker           Contains Docker EE for use with Windows Server...

Updating the DockerMsftProvider

Installing specific Docker EE versions may require an update to previously installed DockerMsftProvider modules. To update:

Update-Module DockerMsftProvider

Then open a new Powershell session for the update to take effect.

Update Docker EE

To update Docker EE Engine to the most recent release, specify the -RequiredVersion and -Update flags:

Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -RequiredVersion 18.03 -Update -Force

Preparing a Docker EE Engine for use with UCP

Run the UCP installation script for Windows.

Start the Docker service:

Start-Service Docker
