For business reasons I'm forced to create a Windows Container for our internal nexus repo.
This is my docker file : 

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1909
RUN mkdir "c:\\nexus"
WORKDIR c:/nexus
RUN mkdir "sonatype-work"
RUN mkdir "nexus-3.36.0-01"
COPY nexus-3.36.0-01 "nexus-3.36.0-01"
COPY sonatype-work "sonatype-work"
RUN cd "c:\\nexus\\nexus-3.36.0-01\\bin"
EXPOSE 8081
CMD ["nexus.exe"]

I am using windows nano server image and the build goes well but I am getting this error

docker: Error response from daemon: container f204eff7c7e188ee05bae2835dbeca8b9709b88979025669cf6ea64ed36d04cd encountered an error during hcsshim::System::CreateProcess: failure in a Windows system call: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)

This is how I run the image

docker run -d -p 8081:8081 myself/nexus

Any idea what am I doing wrong here?

    Hi DebasreeSarkar-4883,

    I would suggest you to run the containers locally and see if they are helpful.

    You can use Windows Admin Center to run your containers locally. Specifically, you use the the Containers extension of your Windows Admin Center instance to run the containers. First, open the container host you want to manage, and in the Tools pane, select the Containers extension. Then, select the Images tab inside the Container extension under Container Host.
