Question

Windows Server 2016 Standard - cannot install docker

Jack Chuong 436

Hi all,
My server : Windows Server 2016 Standard
I followed this instruction : set-up-environment

I ran "install-docker-ce.ps1" from powershell (administrator privilege)to install Docker CE on my server.
But the Docker Engine Daemon cannot start, when I try to start it I get error

fatal: failed to start daemon: this version of Windows does not support the docker daemon (Windows build 17763 or higher is required)

My server build version

ver  
  
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]  

docker --version  
Docker version master-dockerproject-2022-03-26, build dd7397342a

Do I need Windows Server 2019 ? How do I uninstall Docker CE from this server ?
Please give me some advice, thank you very much.

Hello there,

There are two editions of Docker: Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) and Docker Desktop, which is also known as the Community Edition (CE). Docker Enterprise Edition is supported for use with Enterprise Server only on Windows Server 2016.

Open your PowerShell prompt and run the following lines

Install-Module DockerMsftProvider -Force

Install-Package Docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider –Force

It will take a few minutes to get your system ready, and in most cases, you will need to restart your machine to apply your configuration.
