Docker installation fails on Windows Server 2016

Question

I'm trying to install Docker on my Windows server 2016 using PowerShell, but I'm encountering an issue. Here's the command I'm using:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
 
set-executionpolicy unrestricted
 
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force

Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Force

Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force

Here is the Error

WARNING: Cannot find path 'C:\Users\AZUREL~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\DockerMsftProvider\DockerDefault_DockerSearchIndex.json' because it does not exist.
WARNING: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'downloadURL' because it is an empty string.
WARNING: The property 'AbsoluteUri' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists.

Better use Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass Process to allow everything in the current window/process — Bakudan

The DockerMsftProvider is down github.
You can use install-docker-ce.ps1 from microsoft tutorial, and run it will PowerShell 64bit

.\install-docker-ce.ps1

But the script will install the latest version(V24), it won't work on Windows Server 2016.
So you must manually install from binary, the latest work version is 20.10.9

C:> Expand-Archive /path/to/.zip -DestinationPath $Env:ProgramFiles

C:> &$Env:ProgramFiles\Docker\dockerd --register-service

Details of install from binary

PS. Most docker image won't run under Windows Server 2016, it's better to move to Windows Server 2019
