Introduction

Install a Docker image from the online Package repository

The Docker installer for Windows is now available in an online package repository. They can be found and installed using the Docker provider of PackageManagement (a.k.a. OneGet) PowerShell module. The provider needs to be installed before using it. The following PowerShell cmdlets can be used to install the provider.

Step 1: Install the OneGet docker provider
  1. Import-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Force
  2. Import-Packageprovider -Name DockerMsftProvider -Force
Step 2: Install Docker

New installation:
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Verbose

Upgrade to the latest version of docker:
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Verbose -Update

Once the provider is installed and imported, you can search, download, or install Docker using OneGet PowerShell cmdlets:

  • Find-Package
  • Save-Package
  • Install-Package
  • Uninstall-Package
  • Get-Package

Register a source

Register an URL to be used with DockerMsftProvider
Register-PackageSource -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Name AlternateSource -Location https://contoso.com/metaData.json
Enlist all the registered sources
Get-PackageSource -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider

Search a Docker installer

Example 1: Find the latest version of all available Docker installers.
Find-Package -providerName DockerMsftProvider
Example 2: Search by version, according to -RequiredVersion, -MinimumVersion, and -MaximumVersion requirements. With -AllVersions parameter, all available versions of Docker installers are returned. Without it, only the latest version is returned.
Find-Package -providerName DockerMsftProvider -AllVersions

Install docker

Example 1: Install the latest version of docker to the local machine.
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Verbose
Example 2: Install docker with pipeline result from the search cmdlets.
Find-Package -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider | Install-Package -Verbose

Download Docker

You can download and save Docker installer without installation, using Save-Package. This cmdlet accepts pipeline result from the search cmdlets. If you have multiple sources, please provide the source for download.

Example 1: Download and save Docker installer to a directory that matches the wildcard path. The latest version will be saved if you do not specify the version requirements.
Save-Package -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Name Docker -Path .\temp -MinimumVersion 1.2.3
Example 2: Download and save Docker installer from the search cmdlets.
Find-package -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider | Save-Package -Path .
