Installing Print-Server on windows docker contaiener container fails

Question

I am running a fresh mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/runtime:4.8-windowsservercore-ltsc2019 The first thing I try to do is install Print-Server but gives me an error (It is the first time I am installing a windows feature with powershell):

add-WindowsFeature -Name Print-Server

add-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed.
The source files could not be found.
Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source
location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077. Error: 0x800f081f

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DISMAPI_Error__Failed_To_Enable_Updates,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddWindowsFeatureCommand

I have tried to mount my host WinSxS inside the container and use the sources folder , but I get the same error.

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Print-Server -Source c:\sources

I have also tried online with Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature but gives me this error :

PS C:\> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Print-Server
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : Feature name Print-Server is unknown.
At line:1 char:1
+ Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Print-Server
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException

Looking at other questions this part seams to be working for other people. I am running windows 10 enterprise 2004. Does someone know what can I do ?

Answer 1

From here:

The mcr.microsoft.com/windows image should be the targeted base image. Other Windows container base images (such as Nano Server and Windows Server Core) do not carry the Printing Server Role.
