Title: Question on installing a Windows OS in a Docker container
Post by: torreydale on October 05, 2023, 05:32:38 PM

Do you know if/how I can run a windows container using Docker on a Linux host? I use Linux Lite 6.6 as my OS, and I'd like to run a scaled down Windows OS (maybe a core or nano version) so that I can test some things that need to run in powershell.

I got what I needed by installing Powershell to Linux Lite via this link:
