Note:
The specific instructions and procedures in this document are intended to be used with Docker on Linux. Rather than executing containers as native processes, as on Linux platforms, Docker Desktop (for Windows and macOS) creates Linux VMs, running under the respective platform virtualizers, to host containers. These additional layers add complexity that prevents InterSystems from supporting Docker Desktop at this time.
We understand, however, that for testing and other specific purposes, you may want to run InterSystems IRIS-based containers from InterSystems on Windows or macOS. For information about the differences between Docker for Windows and Docker for Linux that InterSystems is aware of as they apply to working with InterSystems-provided container images, see Using InterSystems IRIS Containers with Docker for WindowsOpens in a new tab on InterSystems Developer Community; for general information about using Docker for Windows, see Getting started with Docker for WindowsOpens in a new tab in the Docker documentation.
