I would like to know if there is any way to start a container from a Windows Docker image.

The idea would be to start a Windows container on my Ubuntu and then connect by RDP to that Windows machine. It is possible?

  • I'd expect that you'd need to run the Docker image in a Windows environment e.g. running in VirtualBox running Windows running Docker. – halfer Aug 04 '18 at 21:20

From Docker success center:

At this time, no, Docker for Windows Server 2016 does not support GUI-based applications. This is because Windows containers are based on either Nano or Core Server, which do not allow users to start up a GUI-based interface nor RDP into the container.

And concerning running Windows containers on Ubuntu, you can find other posts related to that : Can window containers be hosted on linux ? and Linux machine with docker deploy windows container
