Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10 with all Windows updates applied 13 14 The major build number must be at least 14393. This can be confirmed, for example, 15 by running the following from an elevated PowerShell prompt - this sample output 16 is from a fully up to date machine as at mid-November 2016: 17 18 19 PS C:\> $(gin).WindowsBuildLabEx 20 14393.447.amd64fre.rs1_release_inmarket.161102-0100 21 22 ### 2. Git for Windows (or another git client) must be installed 23 24 https://git-scm.com/download/win. 25 26 ### 3. The machine must be configured to run containers 27 28 For example, by following the quick start guidance at 29 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/quick_start or https://github.com/docker/labs/blob/master/windows/windows-containers/Setup.md 30 31 ### 4. If building in a Hyper-V VM 32 33 For Windows Server 2016 using Windows Server containers as the default option, 34 it is recommended you have at least 1GB of memory assigned; 35 For Windows 10 where Hyper-V Containers are employed, you should have at least 36 4GB of memory assigned. 37 Note also, to run Hyper-V containers in a VM, it is necessary to configure the VM 38 for nested virtualization. 39 40 ## Usage 41 42 The following steps should be run from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt. 43 44 >**Note**: In a default installation of containers on Windows following the quick-start guidance at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/quick_start, 45 the `docker.exe` client must run elevated to be able to connect to the daemon). 46 47 ### 1. Windows containers 48 49 To test and run the Windows Moby engine, you need a system that supports Windows Containers: 50 51 - Windows 10 Anniversary Edition 52 - Windows Server 2016 running in a VM, on bare metal or in the cloud 53 54 Check out the [getting started documentation](https://github.com/docker/labs/blob/master/windows/windows-containers/Setup.md) for details. 55 56 ### 2. GitHub account 57 58 To contribute to the Docker project, you need a <a href="https://github.com" target="_blank">GitHub account</a>. 59 A free account is fine. All the Moby project repositories are public and visible to everyone. 60 61 This guide assumes that you have basic familiarity with Git and Github terminology 62 and usage. 63 Refer to [GitHub For Beginners: Don’t Get Scared, Get Started](http://readwrite.com/2013/09/30/understanding-github-a-journey-for-beginners-part-1/) 64 to get up to speed on Github. 65 66 ### 3. Git 67 68 In PowerShell, run: 69 70 Invoke-Webrequest "https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.7.2.windows.1/Git-2.7.2-64-bit.exe" -OutFile git.exe -UseBasicParsing 71 Start-Process git.exe -ArgumentList '/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /CLOSEAPPLICATIONS /DIR=c:\git\' -Wait 72 setx /M PATH "$env:Path;c:\git\cmd" 73 74 You are now ready clone and build the Moby source code. 75 76 ### 4. Clone Moby 77 78 In a new (to pick up the path change) PowerShell prompt, run: 79 80 git clone https://github.com/moby/moby 81 cd moby 82 83 This clones the main Moby repository. Check out [Moby Project](https://mobyproject.org) 84 to learn about the other software that powers the Moby platform. 85 86 ### 5. Build and run 87 88 Create a builder-container with the Moby source code. You can change the source 89 code on your system and rebuild any time: 90 91 docker build -t nativebuildimage -f .\Dockerfile.windows . 92 docker build -t nativebuildimage -f Dockerfile.windows -m 2GB . # (if using Hyper-V containers) 93 94 To build Moby, run: 95 96 $DOCKER_GITCOMMIT=(git rev-parse --short HEAD) 97 docker run --name binaries -e DOCKER_GITCOMMIT=$DOCKER_GITCOMMIT nativebuildimage hack\make.ps1 -Binary 98 docker run --name binaries -e DOCKER_GITCOMMIT=$DOCKER_GITCOMMIT -m 2GB nativebuildimage hack\make.ps1 -Binary # (if using Hyper-V containers) 99 100 Copy out the resulting Windows Moby Engine binary to `dockerd.exe` in the 101 current directory: 102 103 docker cp binaries:C:\go\src\github.com\moby\moby\bundles\docker.exe docker.exe 104 docker cp binaries:C:\go\src\github.com\moby\moby\bundles\dockerd.exe dockerd.exe 105 106 To test it, stop the system Docker daemon and start the one you just built: 107 108 Stop-Service Docker 109 .\dockerd.exe -D 110 111 The other make targets work too, to run unit tests try: 112 `docker run --rm docker-builder sh -c 'cd /c/go/src/github.com/moby/moby; hack/make.sh test-unit'`. 113 114 ### 6. Remove the interim binaries container 115 116 _(Optional)_ 117 118 docker rm binaries 119 120 ### 7. Remove the image 121 122 _(Optional)_ 123 124 It may be useful to keep this image around if you need to build multiple times. 125 Then you can take advantage of the builder cache to have an image which has all 126 the components required to build the binaries already installed. 127 128 docker rmi nativebuildimage 129 130 ## Validation 131 132 The validation tests can only run directly on the host. 133 This is because they calculate information from the git repo, but the .git directory 134 is not passed into the image as it is excluded via `.dockerignore`. 135 Run the following from a Windows PowerShell prompt (elevation is not required): 136 (Note Go must be installed to run these tests) 137 138 hack\make.ps1 -DCO -PkgImports -GoFormat 139 140 ## Unit tests 141 142 To run unit tests, ensure you have created the nativebuildimage above. 143 Then run one of the following from an (elevated) Windows PowerShell prompt: 144 145 docker run --rm nativebuildimage hack\make.ps1 -TestUnit 146 docker run --rm -m 2GB nativebuildimage hack\make.ps1 -TestUnit # (if using Hyper-V containers) 147 148 To run unit tests and binary build, ensure you have created the nativebuildimage above. 149 Then run one of the following from an (elevated) Windows PowerShell prompt: 150 151 docker run nativebuildimage hack\make.ps1 -All 152 docker run -m 2GB nativebuildimage hack\make.ps1 -All # (if using Hyper-V containers) 153 154 ## Windows limitations 155 156 Don't attempt to use a bind mount to pass a local directory as the bundles 157 target directory. 158 It does not work (golang attempts for follow a mapped folder incorrectly). 159 Instead, use docker cp as per the example. 160 161 `go.zip` is not removed from the image as it is used by the Windows CI servers 162 to ensure the host and image are running consistent versions of go. 163 164 Nanoserver support is a work in progress. Although the image will build if the 165 `FROM` statement is updated, it will not work when running autogen through `hack\make.ps1`. 166 It is suspected that the required GCC utilities (eg gcc, windres, windmc) silently 167 quit due to the use of console hooks which are not available. 168 169 The docker integration tests do not currently run in a container on Windows, 170 predominantly due to Windows not supporting privileged mode, so anything using a volume would fail. 171 They (along with the rest of the docker CI suite) can be run using 172 https://github.com/jhowardmsft/docker-w2wCIScripts/blob/master/runCI/Invoke-DockerCI.ps1. 173 174 ## Where to go next 175 176 In the next section, you'll [learn how to set up and configure Git for 177 contributing to Moby](set-up-git.md).
