How to run docker on Windows Server 2022 Preview?

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I installed Windows Server 2022 Preview Build 20298, and it does not seem to include the docker command. I would like to run "docker build" and "docker run" from PowerShell, but I get the error: "The term 'docker is not recognized...".&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know how to install the docker command on Windows Server 2022 Preview?&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;Tony

Tony - thanks for the interest!A few steps here:1) Set up your environment on that build, following the instructions here:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/set-up-environment?tabs=Windows-Server2) Given it's an Insider build, you may need this step as well:https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-servercore-insider3) Then you can run a command like this to get your Windows Server 2022 Preview container images:docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/insider:10.0.20298.1As a reference, these are Docker Hub Windows Server Base OS container image Insider release pages: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-servercore-insiderhttps://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-nanoserver-insiderI am curious what your use cases will be. What features/technologies are you planning to try out? Weijuan

Tony -  I couldn't tell why this failed for you. Can you try spinning out another VM? I didn't have any trouble running the installation scripts either using a VM on Azure directly or downloading the VHDX file and spinning up a local VM.
