Running Portainer on Windows 10 Version 1709 with Linux Container feature

To run Portainer on Windows 10 using the Linux Container feature, follow these steps:

1. Enable Linux Container Feature:
   Ensure that you have Docker for Windows installed and that you've switched to Linux Containers. You can switch between Windows and Linux containers using the Docker tray icon.

2. Install Docker Compose (Optional but Recommended):
   Docker Compose is a useful tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Install Docker Compose by following the instructions on the official Docker Compose documentation.

3. Download Portainer Compose File:
   Create a directory where you want to store your Portainer configuration files. Inside that directory, create a file named docker-compose.yml and paste the following contents:

   yamlCopy code
   version: '3'
   
   services:
   
     portainer:
   
       image: portainer/portainer
   
       container_name: portainer
   
       ports:
   
         - "9000:9000"
   
       volumes:
   
         - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
   
         - portainer_data:/data
   
   volumes:
   
     portainer_data:
   
   

   This docker-compose.yml file specifies a Portainer service that binds to port 9000 and connects to the Docker daemon's socket.

4. Start Portainer:
   Open a terminal or Command Prompt, navigate to the directory containing the docker-compose.yml file, and run the following command:

   shCopy code
   docker-compose up -d
   
   

   This command will start the Portainer service in the background.

5. Access Portainer Web Interface:
   Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9000. This will take you to the Portainer web interface. You can now set up and manage your Docker containers and services through Portainer.

Remember to replace localhost with the appropriate hostname or IP address if you're accessing Portainer from a different machine on your network.

That's it! You should now have Portainer up and running on your Windows 10 machine using the Linux Container feature.
