Windows containers on Windows 10 Anniversary Update are not working

Question

I just upgraded to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (1607, 2016-08-02) and wanted to try Windows containers.

I followed the most recent guide I could find: Windows Containers on Windows 10 by Neil Peterson (subject to change!!)

But when coming to the Docker run, it could not start the container:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>docker run -it nanoserver cmd
docker: Error response from daemon: container a39ea9f033493807343489ac180b4469f910db22f93f9364271a6d1aeb077e7b encountered an error during CreateContainer failed in Win32: A connection could not be established with the Virtual Machine hosting the Container. (0xc0370108) extra info:

    }
  ],

  },
  "Servicing": false
}
.

I did not get to try this on the insiders builds. What should I expect to happen when running? - should it start a Hyper-V machine (this does not happen when checking in Hyper-V manager at least).

Update

With the updated deamon and client from the link in the answer I got a new errors:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>docker run -it nanoserver cmd
docker: Error response from daemon: container 48465da53f47156755cc6a7c7bd48a0f5a76db9fb9c6c77d52a481ffb9412d10 encountered an error during Start failed in Win32: The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3): Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type.

Update 2

With the updated docker(d).exe and running daemon in debug a little more information is made available:

Answer 1

After some trial and error I finally got into my nanoserver container.

Please read over all the comments and answers in this Stack Overflow question to get the full scope.

First make sure you are using the latest Docker image from https://github.com/Microsoft/Virtualization-Documentation/blob/live/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/quick_start_windows_10.md as outlined in one of the answers here.

If you followed the original documentation you can simply update your docker and dockerd with the following two commands (remember to do stop-service docker and dockerd --unregister-serice first).

Invoke-WebRequest https://master.dockerproject.org/windows/x86_64/dockerd.exe -OutFile $env:ProgramFiles\docker\dockerd.exe
Invoke-WebRequest https://master.dockerproject.org/windows/x86_64/docker.exe -OutFile $env:ProgramFiles\docker\docker.exe

You should now have

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> docker --version
Docker version 1.13.0-dev, build 979d48b

or later.

Don't start the Docker deamon or register it as a service just yet.

To clean up anything I had that might create issues I ran DEVMGMT.MSC from start and removed any Hyper-V network adapters (remember if you use Hyper-V for other VMs, don't remove those).

I started the deamon : dockerd -D and then I created a new adapter:

docker network create -d nat MyNatNetwork

I then stopped the deamon and started it again with dockerd -D --bridge "none" and then I was able to start my nanoserver:

docker run -it nanoserver cmd

Answer 2

Was in exactly the same situation. However, after upgrading the Docker images, my error changed to a timeout (different from yours).

docker: Error response from daemon: container 219aa480b05d7c7f8110b734dee75e3c2e1a66e230ca066f5e463f0976092476 encountered an error during CreateProcess failed in Win32: The remote procedure call failed. (0x6be) extra info: {"ApplicationName":"","CommandLine":"cmd","WorkingDirectory":"C:\\","Environment":{},"EmulateConsole":true,"CreateStdInPipe":true,"CreateStdOutPipe":true,"CreateStdErrPipe":false,"ConsoleSize":[40,100]}.

I then applied the registry hack that the instructions said was required for a known issue with the technical preview. I'd assumed it was no longer required with the official release, but apparently it is, because I can now connect to the container. Try:

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization\Containers' -Name VSmbDisableOplocks -Type DWord -Value 1 -Force
