Not able to install packages using chcolatey in docker container

I am building a windows container with following software installed

  1. Notepad++
  2. MariaDB
  3. HeidiSQL
  4. .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5

This is the docker image I created. https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/mhhaji/winserver2016_base

What I tried :

Steps to run the container

docker run --name mycontainer mhhaji/winserver2016_base:v1 ping -t localhost

docker exec -it mycontainer powershell

Once powershell is running, I execute the following commands

Get-PackageProvider
#Chocolatey is not existing so I install chocolatey
Find-Package -Provider chocolatey
#Enter [Y] when prompted
#Install notepad++
Find-Package -Provider chocolatey -name notepad*

I get the following error

PS C:\> Find-Package -Provider chocolatey -name notepad*

I was able to download chocolatey so connecting to external endpoints doesnt seem to be a problem.

Update: Seems like nuget is not installed in my image. Looking for solution but not able to find.

Solution

  • Make sure your system is able to support TLS 1.2 as that is necessary for chocolatey to run

    PS> [Enum]::GetNames([Net.SecurityProtocolType]) -contains 'Tls12'

    Enable TLS 1.2 for your system

    PS> [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

    Finally install chocolatey directly from source

    PS> iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'));
