Curious about Docker?

We've seen some interesting yay or nay conversations in the Lounge on Docker. Wanna give it a go? Join our ongoing Docker Challenge - the 3 challenges are super easy and fun, and you'll be contributing to a great charitable cause.

This competition is skewed in favor of people with Linux laptops or Macs. I say this because Docker for Windows is unstable and often just does not work. I suppose you could spin up an EC2 instance on AWS or an Azure VM with Linux on it to install and play with Docker.

Mate, we use Docker on Windows and it's working for us. The contest challenge itself was written and tested on Windows by Ryan and he got it working no problems. While there may be issues with Docker (like there's issues with pretty much every technology when you scratch a little), we're not asking anyone to produce an industrial grade unbreakable never-fails system. We're asking you to explore docker a little and walk through a very simple exercise. If you can't get it working on Windows then I will get Ryan to call you personally to walk through the issues.
cheers Chris Maunder

Appreciate the offer to help, Chris, but it's alright. I have Linux boxes/VMs I can access too. I am also sure many people do have Docker running fine on Windows, but I also know of many who had trouble, especially on non-server OSes. So even if I can get it working, many others may not. That said that just makes the competition tougher I suppose.
