A Windows container Dockerfile

Windows container images use Dockerfile commands in the same format as for Linux containers. The following Dockerfile will download, install, and enable the Internet Information Services (IIS) web server on the container:

# escape=`
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019
RUN powershell -Command `
    Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server; `
    Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri “https://dotnetbinaries.blob.core.windows.net/servicemonitor/2.0.1.10/ServiceMonitor.exe” -OutFile “C:\ServiceMonitor.exe”
EXPOSE 80
ENTRYPOINT [“C:\\ServiceMonitor.exe”, “w3svc”]

You can build the image using the following command:

$ docker image build --tag local:dockerfile-iis .

Once built, running docker image ls should show you the following:
