When using Windows containers you will quickly notice that Docker on a Windows Server requires an elevated prompt to use the named pipe at \\.\pipe\docker_engine. Today I will demonstrate how to change the permissions of the named pipe to have a similar UX as on Linux.

Today, I had the opportunity to speak at ContainerConf in Mannheim. I talked about the news in the Docker ecosystem with a special focus on the Moby project. This post not only publishes my slides but also the demos from this talk.

Privileged containers have been the reason for many discussions. There are security minded people who would like to eliminate them as well as technical people who need the feature to drive containerization. I’d like to show you how to be a technical person running a privileged container but honour security considerations by dropping capabilities as soon as they are not required.
