Building Docker Images on Windows Server 2016

We are looking forward to build docker images on a Windows Server 2016 Jenkins slave (though not ideal) for our microservices using a base openjdk image.

We did get Docker EE installed on Windows Server 2016 and as expected getting the below error:

PS C:\> docker pull openjdk:8
8: Pulling from library/openjdk
no matching manifest for windows/amd64 in the manifest list entries

Unlike Windows 10, i have not been able to set the daemon to switch to linux containers.

• Is it possible?
• How can this be done?

• What issues will we be running into if we went this route?
