Old containers don't work on Windows Server Insiders?
- Aug 11, 2017
`docker run --isolation=hyperv microsoft/windowsservercore` will work on Windows Server Insider & Windows 10 Insider builds. Because the kernel is different between the shipped Windows Server 2016 OS - we need to use Hyper-V isolation. That will run that container with the same kernel so there aren't any incompatibilities.
Can you give that a try and let us know how it works?
Thanks!

docker pull microsoft/nanoserver-insider
or version powershell: docker pull microsoft/nanoserver-insider
I'm find so many issues with that, but we can help and report them.
Hope it helps.
Not exactly a smooth upgrade path - rebuild everything from scratch?!
What happens when the current insider version gets released ot the stable channel? Will the containers we build on insiders not work there as well?? It seems to make the whole insiders idea pointless for me - I can't afford the time to rebuild everything 3 times over.
Before I pack it all in and revert to the stable build would anyone from MS care to let me know if it's planned for insiders to *ever* be able to run containers built on the Standard Windows Server 2016?

Good to know there's a workaround, thanks.
