title: Can a SQL Server Docker container run on Windows Server core 2022 ("linux" cannot be used on this platform)
body: <pre><code>docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest
  </code></pre>
  <p>Error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>image operating system &quot;linux&quot; cannot be used on this platform</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I'm running docker on a Windows Server Core 2022 platform</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Client app is Docker application version 0.8.0</li>
  <li>Server shows two images  ltsc2022 and 1809-amd64 [nanoserver images]</li>
  <li>Server version is 20.10.7</li>
  <li>Kernel version is 10.0.20348</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I wasn't aware that Linux was installed so the error is a bit confusing. Does Windows Server Core 2022 come preloaded with Linux?   What does it mean when the error states &quot;linux&quot; cannot be used on this platform?</p>
  <p>Looking at the Task Manager, services tab, shows that Docker Engine is up and running.</p>
