How to run a Windows container inside Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)?
C:\Users\romain.prevost&gt;docker info  -f '{{.OSType}}/{{.Architecture}}'
'linux/x86_64'


Now, if you are running Docker for Windows, right click the Docker icon in your tray, and select "Switch to windows containers"


C:\Users\romain.prevost&gt;docker info  -f '{{.OSType}}/{{.Architecture}}'
'windows/x86_64'


Voilà! Essentially, Docker for Windows includes two different engines : Linux in a VM, and Windows, natively on your windows kernel. But soon, there will be options to run Linux containers natively on the Windows kernel. Exciting times!
