Docker base image with the Solaris operating system

Does anybody know from where I can get docker base image with Solaris OS in it?

I tried finding it on Dockerhub but couldn't find one.

Please provide me the detail 'dockerhost/namespace/imagename:tag'

Does Docker work on Solaris?

The Solaris is not available in docker because Oracle did not provide an image for Solaris.

What is the base OS of a Docker image?

The Docker platform runs natively on Linux (on x86-64, ARM and many other CPU architectures) and on Windows (x86-64). Docker Inc. builds products that let you build and run containers on Linux, Windows and macOS.

Which OS is better for Docker?

Use Windows Server if you want a server environment to host Docker in production, and use Windows 10 if you're looking instead for a desktop system where you can test Docker locally.

Does container image contain OS?

Yes, they do. Every container is based on an OS image, e.g. Alpine, CentOS or Ubuntu. They just share the host kernel, but run every user-space process in a separate name space specific for that container.

Short answer: NO

Long answer:

Since docker images share a kernel with the host, and Solaris uses a different kernel to Linux, a docker Solaris image would only work on a Solaris host.

Furthermore docker is not yet working on Solaris. More information on that on stackoverflow: Is it possible to install docker on Sparc machines?
