Windows 10 (1903) / 2019 running Docker?

Hello,

I'm struggling the last week with a problem that I can't create a Windows VM which runs Docker Linux Container.

I tried to install Windows 10 Enterprise (Build 1903) and also Windows Server 2019 Standard. But without success. On Windows 10 the Hyper V instance will not start and on Windows Server 2019 there will pull the image but then nothing happends...

Anyone have a running setup?

Thanks

Docker engine on Windows will ​not​ run Linux containers. This isn't how containers works. It will run Windows containers only.

yes you're right, thats why you need nested Virtualization.

So in Windows 10 normally there will be a HyperV VM called "MobyLinuxVM".
