Docker Engine

Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run

distributed applications. This package contains the docker engine for Windows to run

Windows containers on Windows hosts.

NOTE: Docker engine for Windows is simply the service to run containers. You might

want to have a look at the "docker-desktop" package for better usability.

From v23 docker engine is installed into `$env:ProgramFiles\docker` (the default docker

location). A shim is still generated for the docker cli.

### Package Specific

This package by default creates the group `docker-users` and adds the installing user to

it, you can customise this with package parameters. In order to communicate with docker

you will need to log out and back in.

**Please Note**: The docker engine requires the Windows Features: Containers and

Microsoft-Hyper-V to be installed in order to function correctly. You can install these

with the chocolatey command:

`choco install Containers Microsoft-Hyper-V --source windowsfeatures`

#### Package Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

* `/DockerGroup:` - Name of the user group for using docker - defaults to "docker-users"

* `/noAddGroupUser` - Prevent adding the current user to the DockerGroup

* `/StartService` - Automatically start (or restart) the docker service after install (or upgrade)
