问题
I'm using Docker Desktop for Windows with the new feature of Windows Containers now Windows-based containers are possible but it raised this question?
Can I mix linux-based and windows-based images in same docker engine host? If yes, are going to work all network features? Is this independent of the host OS for the user?
回答1:
No you can't. You will need a Linux to launch Linux containers and a Windows Server 2016 to launch Windows containers
I said in Run normal Win32 applications in Docker for Windows
if you have Windows Server 2016, you will be able to launch Windows containers (and you will need a Linux server to launch Linux containers).

In Windows, your Dockerfile will start with
FROM windowsservercore
instead of the more usual
FROM debian or FROM ubuntu
See some examples of IIS in (Windows) docker

or a SQL Server in docker
