Where do I find DockerCli.exe

I'm trying to switch Docker to Windows containers on my Windows Server Core 1903 machine (no desktop). This page says DockerCli should be able to do so:

& $Env:ProgramFiles\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe -SwitchDaemon

There is no DockerCli.exe after fresh Docker installation:

    Directory: C:\Program Files\Docker

I also tried to install docker-cli or docker-toolbox via Choco but the needed tool is still missing. Any clue where to find it?

Solution

  • Found DockerCli.exe in the Docker Desktop package.
