Unable to install windowsServerCore Container Image

Question

I am trying to install windowsServercore images on my WIndows 2016 server using below command.

Install-containerImage WindowsServerCore

while running it got below error message.

Install-ContainerOSImage : The term 'Install-ContainerOSImage' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Found there is a work around from article

While running the commands from the new article, getting different error message.

docker load -i nanoserver.tar.gz

58684737b3d1: Loading layer [==================================================>] 358.4 MB/358.4 MB

ee804e901159b053d5e082e31e339ae822d: A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the
 current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file.

My system time is correct and i am running Windows 2016 server on AWS.

Any help to fix this issue is appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use bellow command to pull the image to your docker host which is windows server 2016:

docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore

Answer 2

Use the following command:

docker run -t -i mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1809

This will load Nano Server from the official Microsoft DockerHub repository:
