title: How to run Linux Docker images on Windows Server 2016?
body: <p>I have used docker for windows with linux containers on windows 10 sucessfully - but now I want to use a new shiny Windows Server 2016 for that task - but how?</p>
  
  <p>I have installed the docker features using this guide: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/quick_start_windows_server" rel="noreferrer">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/quick_start_windows_server</a></p>
  
  <p>Installing the normal docker.msi fails because the windows version ist not Windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, when trying to run any linux vm docker throws the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>image operating system "linux" cannot be used on this platform.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the docker beta I could switch between using windows containers or linux containers - but how I can do that on Server 2016= There is no tray icon or else.</p>
