1809 support
Closed this issue · 11 comments
Do you have an eta when you're going to start pushing an 1809 image to docker hub?
Thanks

We're looking at it, but its not as simple as you'd like. We've got the infrastructure setup (ie, a Win1809 build agent) so we can build it, so its just updating the builds now. Doesn't help that Microsoft has moved things around and no longer stores images on dockerhub 🤦♂️.
Hopefully "soon".
Ok great. I'll watch out for the update
Noticed that you guys use my mssql-server-windows-express docker image: https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Octopus-Docker/blob/master/Server/02-start.ps1#L20
That image repository also supports 1809. In fact it's a multi-architecture image which means if you drop the 1803/1809 tag, docker will pull the correct image for the target platform your octopus build is running on.
So I would suggest updating your build script to use: christianacca/mssql-server-windows-express:2017-latest
If you need that christianacca/mssql-server-windows-express image to be updated let me know.
fyi - #42

Thanks for the suggestion @christianacca - I've included this.

It looks like its all good for now, but I suspect we'll need to figure out a Windows 2019 one at some point. We've got the infra, so it might be easiest if we fork your repo. Problem for another day :)
christianacca/mssql-server-windows-express supports Windows 1809 which IS Windows 2019 isn't it?
Not that I'm aware of?
For our build agents, for 1809, we're using Windows_Server-1809-English-Core-Containers. For 2019, we're using Windows_Server-2019-English-Full. So, AWS at least thinks its a different OS?
Seems they are very similar but different:
The difference between Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server, version 1809 is mainly how updates will be released. If you're on the Long-Term Servicing Channel, you're going to receive cumulative updates, similar to how Windows Server 2016 has (Windows Server 2016 coincided with version 1607). Those on the Semi-Annual Channel will get the next feature update, which will likely be version 1903.
Yeah, I know the updates for the OS are released differently, but in terms of the windows kernel it's the same.
Here's my understanding of the situation...
I think the issue that you getting at is what base image will the consumer get when they issue the command: docker pull christianacca/mssql-server-windows-express
The result would be the same regardless of whether that command was issued from a windows server 2019 or a windows server lts-2019.
However, the author (me) of christianacca/mssql-server-windows-express has made the choice for the consumer - they are going to get an image based on mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1809 or one based on mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019 - which one depends on the one I specified when defining the docker file for christianacca/mssql-server-windows-express
In that case, I think we're good :)
Looks like we've had a few 1809 images published over the last few days, so you should be good to go.
Great. I'm going to take for a spin over the weekend
