Windows Docker on Windows 10

I was chatting with Plucky the other day and he pointed this out to me...

Has anyone tried to run SageTV on windows using Docker?

This looked pretty cool so I needed to try it out as i am pretty commited so far to Windows Server and the Docker feature is available on Windows 10 if you have the Anniversary Updates version and the eval versions of Windows Server 2016.

So I setup a 2016 server VM and got Docker Engine for Windows installed. Then with some issues i ran into i did some more reading.

This new Docker Engine for Windows is NOT CROSS PLATFORM. It will NOT run linux based containers.

I will have to play some more and see if I have other uses for this for windows based containers and in theory it would run a SageTV windows server in a container but perhaps not without modifications to the core.... but as that would still be a 32 bit sagetv server it would be of little value to me right now.
