Sorry, that's right. You can probably guess that all of my Windows Docker use is with Linux images. This particular script wouldn't work as there is no node image for a native windows host (unless there is? again, I'm ignorant of native windows containers).


Windows Services for Linux can install a Ubuntu image for ready usage.


Also ignorant - I have WSL/DockerDesktop etc...

I run ubuntu desktop in a vbox VM.

If I run ubuntu desktop on docker, I have to RDP into it.

What type of container will WSL build? A desktop - or headless with CLI?

Finally - which is lighter-weight, Vbox VM, or a Docker container, or whatever WSL makes?

EDIT: NM - I understand the answer now.


> What type of container will WSL build?

Pretty sure WSL is installing the full OS as a guest, a la VirtualBox
