Description

Running

docker run -it --rm -p 8006:8006 --device=/dev/kvm --cap-add NET_ADMIN --stop-timeout 120 dockurr/windows

After downloading the windows 11 iso the console shows:

BdsDxe: loading Boot0004 "Windows Boot Manager" from HD(1,GPT,C6E5DD6D-DD02-49B4-8D10-12E09258EC1D,0x800,0x40000)/\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

Then nothing happens for hours.

Docker compose

docker run -it --rm -p 8006:8006 --device=/dev/kvm --cap-add NET_ADMIN --stop-timeout 120 dockurr/windows

Docker log

Everything looks fine, the lines are in the console are exactly what they should be. How do you know that "nothing happened"? Did you visit port 8006 in your browser? What did it show?

[LordOfDragons]

It did not connect at all. Tried now using docker compose and setting a storage directory. That seems to help. RDP connection though has some troubles due to the default username (Docker) having no password and I need to force-forward keyboard or no typing is possible. First time I see this kind of problems so I assume it's specific to this project.

[kroese]

You can specify a password like this if the empty one is giving problems:

environment:
  USERNAME: "bill"
  PASSWORD: "gates"

[LordOfDragons]

I've done this (with different values) but this has no effect. Windows still automatically logs in and using RDP still requires user "Desktop" and empty password.

[kroese]

It only has effect if you set them prior to installation, not afterwards. In that case you can just modify the password in the Windows control panel or by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL.

[LordOfDragons]

Actually I did it before installing but okay. I'll try changing the password from inside windows.

EDIT: Well... I did not manage to RDP into windows to change the password. Neither "Desktop"->"" nor my user/password is accepted.

[kroese]

The user is not called "Desktop" but "Docker"

[LordOfDragons]

Sorry, typo. But the problem persists. No combination of "Docker"/my-username and empty-password/my-password is working. RDP is dead. And I just shut down and launched the image again.

Empty passwords don't seem to support vnc to change passwords. I have used vnc before, and the system with an empty password changed the configuration file and found that my vnc and RDP login were unsuccessful after the change. Later, I set the password in the configuration file, and changed the password again in the user name in the settings, and there was no such problem。 The author seems to really prevent hacks from using your windows after changing the password. TThe author seems to really prevent hacks from using your windows after changing the password. That's just my guess. hat's just my guess. Try using the configuration with the password below。

Seems like you are running into this bug from FreeRDP: #837
