Windows containers guide

Requirements: Windows 10/11 with Hyper-V feature

Tested on Windows 11 LTSC fresh install

Open cmd with admin rights:
1. Press Win+R
2. Type "cmd" (without quotes)
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Install chocolatey package manager (reference: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/setup#install-with-cmd.exe):

@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

Enable Hyper-V Containers:

choco install Containers Microsoft-Hyper-V --source windowsfeatures -y

Install docker and dockerd(reference: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/docker-engine):
```
choco install docker-engine -y
```

Unregister default dockerd service and register with custom size(default is 20G which is not enough for windows containers):

cd "C:\Program Files\docker"
dockerd --unregister-service
dockerd --register-service --storage-opt size=YOUR_CONTAINER_SIZE

Start docker service before using docker:
```
net start docker
```
Done! You are ready to build/run your windows containers.
