Navcontainerhelper: Containers for Windows 10 2021 h1

[epernst]

When can we expect the containers for the May update of Windows 10?

Updated from yesterday from 20H2, as it said it had a fix for a problem causing the host windows to stop/die when using process isolation (something I have had an issue with for a very long time).

For now hyperv works fine, but prefer using process isolation.

[freddydk]

The latest containerhelper preview actually defaults to 10.0.19041.985 generic for 21H1 - for some reason, that also works with process isolation on my machine.

[epernst]

Didn't try with AllowPrerelease. But doesn't work either.

Platform: 14.0.46607.0
Generic Tag: 1.0.1.7
Container OS Version: 10.0.19042.985 (20H2)
Host OS Version: 10.0.19043.985 (21H1)
WARNING: Host OS and Base Image Container OS doesn't match and process isolation is specified. If you encounter issues, you could try to specify -isolation hyperv

and then it fails with:

_docker: Error response from daemon: hcsshim::CreateComputeSystem aa43ace4722d5a23833994875002b5b0c0380f3eb1fd08b5bcf6da89814f974f: The container operating system does not match the host operating system._

[freddydk]

I don't think that is the pre-release - or maybe you need -alwayspull
Did you restart PS?
pre-release should select 19041 container OS

[freddydk]

Preview should say this:

[epernst]

I did restart PS. But second time around it did display:
_INFO: Windows 10 21H1 images are not yet available, use 2004 as these are found to work better than 20H2 on 21H1
WARNING: Unable to find matching generic image for your host OS. Using mcr.microsoft.com/businesscentral:10.0.19041.985_
And process isolation didn't fail. :)

[freddydk]

Containers for 21h1 will be out as soon as the corresponding server core image ships.

[freddydk]

With the latest update to 21H1 (build 10.0.19043.1052), the Resource is in use problems seems to have been fixed (on my machine at least).
I have just spun up 3 containers with 10.0.19042.1052 generic using hyperv - works fine.
and 10.0.19041.1052 can still be used with process isolation (so it seams).

Hello @freddydk ,
I've update to Windows 10 21H1 in my personal computer and I've tested to create a new container forcing issolation "process".
I've lost my old containers, but I think the problem is I've upgraded Docker Container to last version and reset containers to solve a crach at starting docker.

I had to run
update-module bccontainerhelper -allowprerelease -force
for it to work

[freddydk]

I will ship 2.0.13 today, which defaults the generic image in use to be 10.0.19041.985.
You can also add
-usegenericimage 'mcr.microsoft.com/businesscentral:10.0.19041.985'
on New-BcContainer - then you should be able to use process isolation.
I also found that the latest windows 10 21H1 for the host works better (build 10.0.19043.1052)

[freddydk]

In the latest containerhelper preview, I will also default to process isolation for the combination Host OS = 21H1 and Container OS = 2004.

[freddydk]

It seems like 21H1 containers are not going to be released, they are waiting for/working on Windows 11.
BcContainerHelper will keep selecting the best container and use appropriate isolation by default and will be updated with whatever happens.

[epernst]

Thank you for the update. I did not have any issues with 21H1 and the latest version of BcContainerHelper.
