What would a base Windows image look like, just a PowerShell prompt? How would you use the build file to install your dependencies without a package manager?

- nickstinemates 12y ago> What would a base Windows image look like, just a PowerShell prompt? I can't speak for Microsoft, but, there's been a ton of thought put in to this, but details subject to change as they start to contribute to the project. That said, I imagine each container would need those base services (svchost.exe, as an example), its own registry, etc. > How would you use the build file to install your dependencies without a package manager? Lots of examples (in child comments), but more will be announced here soon.
- icebraining 12y agoFetch installer and run it?
- KevinEldon 12y agoFrom what I've read (I'm not expert in this space) there is Chocolatey [1] availabe now for package management and Microsoft's OneGet on the horizon [2]. [1] https://chocolatey.org/ https://chocolatey.org/ [2] https://oneget.codeplex.com/ https://oneget.codeplex.com/
- megaman821 12y agoOk, so Windows Server 10 Core with OneGet would make a lot of sense for a base image. Thanks for the answer.
- UnoriginalGuy 12y agoLikely exactly how Windows 2008 R2/2012 Core installation looks at initial installation time. Just a PS prompt and minimal additional software. Windows already has a package manager called, creatively, PKGMGR. It is already used to install packages from the command line in core edition (or regular edition).
