Is there a way to connect through remote desktop to a running Windows Server container?

Question

I successfully pulled the container down and ran it. But I don't know how to connect this run container with RDP (Remote Desktop).

Here are some actions I've tried:

1. It is normal for the host to connect to a conventional windows virtual machine using RDP
2. Ping the remote desktop target is normal
3. I learned that in the old version, you can use PowerShell to try to let the firewall release port 3389, but in this version, doing so seems to report an error

Hi @zb g

I suppose windows Containers do not support RDP. They are designed and built to run services and applications, and they can be accessed using PowerShell/CMD command-line interface.
