How to run a windows docker container on linux host?


"windows docker": if that means docker for windows, running Windows container, then no.

You could run windows container on Linux the same way you are running Linux Container on windows: through a Virtual Machine emulating the target host.

Update Dec. 2016: Kubernetes 1.5 might offer a solution: see "Linux machine with docker deploy windows container"


As VonC answered, it is not possible ATM.

Nevertheless you may consider to run wine if the service you need to run can run with wine.


About RDP, I see this extract from

Remote DesktopWindows Containers cannot be managed/interacted with through a RDP session in TP4.
