Unable to install Docker on windows 2016 server

[sandhyarme]

Hi All,

We were planning to install docker on windows 2016 by following below steps -

#Install Docker Provider
Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Force
#Install Docker from docker Provider
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force
Restart-Computer -Force

But while docker provider we are facing error with package provider, so have tried to install package provider

Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Force
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
facing same error as in attached screenshot.

Please suggest us to overcome with the above.

From what I gathered across a few webpages and stackoverflow, this is due to deprecation of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on Windows server 2016.
These commands worked for me.

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Register-PSRepository -Default -Verbose
Set-PSRepository -Name "PSGallery" -InstallationPolicy Trusted

After this I could install NuGet and DockerMsftProvider module.

You might want to take a look at Stevedore project as a way to install modern Docker for Windows containers on both Windows Server/Client.
