1. Installation for Windows

Installation for Windows

Please follow the instructions on Docker’s official documentation to install Docker CE for Windows.

When asked to use Windows container, choose NOT to.

You don’t have to register for a Docker Cloud account.

We highly recommend to use the Bash emulation Git Bash from Git for Windows to do the exercises in this training.

If your organization has a proxy in place you have to set the proxy environment variables in order to be able to do docker pull or docker push.

Git Bash:

export HTTP_PROXY="http://<username>:<password>@<proxy>:<port>"
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://<username>:<password>@<proxy>:<port>"

If you have special characters in your password, you have to encode them according to Percent-encoding reserved characters .

See also setting the proxy environment variables on Windows for alternative instructions on setting proxy environment variables.

When you’re ready to go, head on over to the labs and begin with the training!
