Docker Windows Container with Service Fabric on Windows Server

I have a Service Fabric cluster installed on 5 virtual machines which are running Windows Server 2016. I would like to run docker windows container inside my Service Fabric cluster. I'm fairly new to the SF and Docker and I have couple of questions:

  1. To make it work do I have to install Docker on each node? (If so which version CE or EE?) Because when I deploy my SF app with windows container service inside, it gives me an error during application start Error event: SourceId='System.Hosting', Property='Download:1.0:1.0:45cc185a-abde-47f4-9a1f-943ad6e29d23'. There was an error during download.Container deployment is not supported on the node.

  2. Can I run linux container on Service Fabric installed on Windows Server?

Solution

    1. Yes you need to have the Containers feature enabled. Or, when running in Azure, you can use a host with the Containers feature already enabled, e.g. '2016-Datacenter-with-Containers'.

    2. No, you can't do that inside a cluster at this time.
