What is IIS?

Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows® Server is a flexible, secure and manageable Web server for hosting anything on the Web.

How to use this image?

Create a Dockerfile with your website

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command Remove-Item -Recurse C:\inetpub\wwwroot\*

WORKDIR /inetpub/wwwroot

COPY content/ .

You can then build and run the Docker image:

$ docker build -t iis-site .
$ docker run -d -p 8000:80 --name my-running-site iis-site

There is no need to specify an ENTRYPOINT in your Dockerfile since the microsoft/iis base image already includes an entrypoint application that monitors the status of the IIS World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC).

Verify in the browser

On newer hosts (Windows Server, version 1803 and newer)

You can connect to the running container using http://localhost:8000 in the example shown.

On older hosts (Windows Server, version 1709 and older)

If you are running an older host, you cannot use http://localhost to browse your site from the container host. This is because of a known behavior in WinNAT and you need to use the IP address of the container.

Once the container starts, you'll need to finds its IP address so that you can connect to your running container from a browser. You use the docker inspect command to do that: docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.Networks.nat.IPAddress }}" my-running-site You will see an output similar to this:

172.28.103.186	

You can connect the running container using the IP address and configured port, http://172.28.103.186:80 in the example shown.

In addition to static content, IIS can run other workloads including, but not limited to ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, NodeJS, PHP, and Apache Tomcat.

For a comprehensive tutorial on running an ASP.NET app in a container, check out the tutorial on the docs site.

Supported Docker Versions

This image has been tested on Docker Versions 17.10 or higher.

iis-docker's Issues

Trying to call PS1 file with the parameters from within Docker file, but no luck.

Hi,

I have following Dockerfile where I am trying to call .PS1 file with the parameter so user can provided value against it during Docker Run command.

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore
#Also used Microsoft/iis-docker
ARG AE_HOSTNAME


COPY ./resources/* C:/automic/ARA/WebUI/
CMD powershell C:\\automic\\ARA\\WebUI\\RAW.ps1 -AE_HOSTNAME $AE_HOSTNAME

Below is the sample Powershell

Param($AE_HOSTNAME)
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path C:\$AE_HOSTNAME

I am trying to run below Docker run command once the image is built. But it fails to pass the value to ps1 file

Docker run -it -e AE_HOSTNAME=test <imageid>

However when I run without parameter, powershell executes without any issue.

Will this run classic ASP?

I have a classic ASP site I'd like to test locally.

Add documentation for ServiceMonitor.exe

In the base IIS image, we use ServiceMonitor.exe to monitor the we3svc service. We need to document this.

IIS docker image usage

Hi,

I have a doubt here. Can I spin up n number of IIS containers in a windows machine? Is that a violation of the windows license terms?

How do you use UI tools with Microsoft containers?

Hello,

I figured out how to use IIS manager to remotely manage IIS container by creating local username/password, adding it to Adminstrators group, installing IIS management service and configure it to allow remote connections. I can not make work any sort of remote administration tools like EventViewer for example. I suspect it's because Microsoft disabled "srvnet" service and all relevant dependencies. I understand removing may be terminal services but completely crippling all remote administration is pure craziness. This is absolutely required for image development and troubleshooting. I understand majority can be done via remoting but Microsoft raised bar too high for entrance to this space for all developers to want to come onboad. It's alrady difficult enough to persuade them to use containers but now you have to require them to learn powershell to pull eventlogs?

How may I access the web application from remote?

The docker IIS documentation says:

With the current release, you can't use http://localhost to browse your site from the container host. This is because of a known behavior in WinNAT, and will be resolved in future. Until that is addressed, you need to use the IP address of the container.

So, what is the way out to be able to publish a web application to the internet using Docker? I just tried publishing my web application. I could create docker image, publish and run it on a VM on Azure. However, I am not finding a way to share this with anyone as the web application is not available on the IP of the VM.

Can someone help me?

I would like to deploy this to ServiceFabric

I would like to deploy this to ServiceFabric. The deploy works, but I can't seem to figure out how to configure correctly to hit IIS running on port 80 in the container. Being able to create containers with our legacy web apps, and WCF services and deploy to ServiceFabric will be a game changer here. Any help would be appreciated.

Can not install Application Request Routing via WebPlatformInstaller

After following the instructions for the Windows 10 Quick Start, I tried to install and configure ARR using the Web platform tools cmd.

Here is the Dockerfile that I'm using:

FROM microsoft/iis

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
    Invoke-WebRequest \
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/F/F/CFF3A0B8-99D4-41A2-AE1A-496C08BEB904/WebPlatformInstaller_amd64_en-US.msi \

RUN c:\WebPlatformInstaller_amd64_en-US.msi

RUN mkdir C:\site

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
    Import-module IISAdministration; \
    New-IISSite -Name "Site" -PhysicalPath C:\site -BindingInformation "*:8000:"

EXPOSE 8000

ADD content/ /site

But when I try to WebpiCmd /Install /Products:ARRv3_0 /AcceptEula in the container, it fails:

.NET Core Windows Server Hosting bundle

The asp.net documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/publishing/iis mentions that the .NET Core Windows Server Hosting bundle is needed to run a ASP.NET core application.

Cannot attached to container

Whenever I start a new container in interactive mode, I find myself stuck at the "Service 'w3svc' started" prompt and am unable to navigate away from there. Unless I Ctrl-C to stop the container.

Can I allow IIS to output detailed errors in a container running an MVC project? I only get static "Internal Server Error" without any information.

Pretty much as the title says.

As part of my internship its my job to find out if Docker is a valid solution for the company.

I have some projects that run inside a container perfectly fine after fiddling with the settings and or dockerfile, but I've been stuck for 2 weeks on one particular project right now. Every http error is the same in the sense there is no information at all where the error originates from.

All projects have the tags for errorMode=Detailed and customErrors=off in the webconfig. The traditional debugger in visual studio will give me detailed errors, but when dockerized it will give me absolutely nothing.

Thanks in advance!

Binding site with current domain

Hi, I apologize, for maybe stupid question, but I'm not sure if I understand how to bind my new site, with production domain. If I create new site and register port with IP address my server, everything works well (for example: http://1.1.1.1). But how can I say, my site demo, on address server 1.1.1.1 will be accessible at www.mydemo.com. IIS without docker can solve this. Is it possible do this with this Image? Thank you.

Dockerfile creating with CMD instead of ENTRYPOINT?

As I understood: the microsoft/iis images is build with a docker file that uses ENTRYPOINT ["C:\ServiceMonitor.exe", "w3svc"] at the end. This is not overridable with the docker run, as it would be with dockerfile created with CMD instead of ENTRYPOINT.

what is the exact purpose of choosing either way?

MSI Packages are not getting installed (no negative docker feedback)

When installing MSI packages, i noticed that it builds successfully, but packages are not installed. There is no error message or other stuff coming up.

2 Methods that i use:

1. Method:

ADD HTTPLINKTOFILE/MSIFILE.msi /folder/MSIFILE.MSI
RUN msiexec.exe /i C:\folder\MSIFILE.MSI /passive & \
rd /s /q C:\Folder

2. Method:

ADD MSIFILE.msi "C:\Folder\"
RUN msiexec.exe C:\folder\MSIFILE.MSI /quiet /qn /passive

The http link method successfully installs the MSI file without returning any error.
But it does not show up, installed URL REWRITE or ARR or any other stuff but it's just not there.

The second method via adding the file to the Docker Volume and then installing it makes the DOCKER BUILD process hang, it just stays there without going any further, also no error message.

Sad i cant deliver a stack trace or error message but that's all i got. Anyone knows how to handle that?
This is not a duplicate to other MSI related issues since here, it get's installed in the first place but won't show functionality.

WebFarm Framework installed but cant create WebFarm

Unlocking config sections breaks IIS

In my Dockerfile, I need to unlock several config sections as follows:

RUN & c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe unlock config /section:system.web/authentication

My app requires <authentication mode="Windows" />.

In my container, IIS works fine until I run this command in my image. Then I get this error using the PS command Get-EventLog application -newest 1 | format-list:

The worker process for application pool 'DefaultAppPool' encountered an error 'Configuration file is not well-formed XML trying to read configuration data from file '\?\C:\inetpub\temp\apppools\DefaultAppPool\DefaultAppPool.config', line number '3'. The data field contains the error code.

I also tried changing the runtime of the DefaultAppPool to 4.5, thinking that might help:

Set-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPools\DefaultAppPool\ -Name managedRuntimeVersion -Value 'v4.5'

But that made no difference, even after restarting IIS inside the container.

Attemping iisreset produces these errors:

Question: Use of environment variables for application pools other than DefaultAppPool?

Hi all,
As part of issue #41 a new version of ServiceMonitor was introduced that will forward environment variables passed by the -e argument to the DefaultAppPool.

Is there any way to also enable this for other application pools?
Is there any update on what was discussed in #2 with regards to w3wp.exe?

Please provide guidance on these images

• Nano vs Core: which to use when
• What Dockerfile-content is needed to support WCF (HTTP-activation, etc)
• What volumes to mount to get access to IIS-logfiles, app-logfiles, etc.
• How to run .NET Core sites/api's (Kestrel, etc)

... Or supply links to where this information is available on the web.

Add Expose directive

The IIS dockerfile does not have a expose directive to expose port 80. This makes the port inaccessible within the Virtual Network.

The directive needs to be added. This would also fix aspnet docker image as iis image is its extension.

microsoft/iis:nanoserver crashes when running ServiceMonitor

To reproduce:

Create and build a Dockerfile as in the example on the microsoft/iis docker hub page

# escape = `

FROM microsoft/iis:nanoserver

RUN mkdir C:\app

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command `
    Import-module IISAdministration; `
    New-IISSite -Name "Site" -PhysicalPath C:\app -BindingInformation "*:8000:"

EXPOSE 8000

At this point you could also copy site contents into C:\app - it doesn't make a difference

When running the image via docker run the following is presented:

ERROR ( message:Cannot find requested collection element. )
Applied configuration changes to section "system.applicationHost/applicationPools" for "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" at configuration commit path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST"

 Service 'w3svc' has been stopped

APPCMD failed with error code 4312

ERROR: Failed to start or quesry status of service 'w3svc' error [80004005]

 Service 'w3svc' has been stopped

The container then exits as ServiceMonitor has crashed.

Connect to Dockerized IIS remotely

Is there any way to connect to the inside container IIS from an IIS Manager so I could have a GUI Access to that IIS?

Install MSI error, how to install it?

Whats is wrong ?
The MSI Crystal Reports file is: https://apurafacil.blob.core.windows.net/candidatos/CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_5.msi

Update Dockerfiles to use COPY instruction rather than ADD

To conform with Dockerfile best practices, the COPY instruction is preferred over ADD. All Microsoft Dockerfiles should be following the best practices as they are often referred upon and copied.

Related to microsoft/aspnet-docker#72

Please redo ServiceMonitor.exe as a powershell script

I think Microsoft need to allow a way for applications to send message to ServiceMonitor.exe to be output to docker (like critical events which happen on machine etc). Right now it's a black box which does not do anything except for monitoring of status of w3svc.exe. This is already can and shall be accomplished by HEALTHCHECK directive, ServiceMonitor becomes redundant at this point. Instead it needs to have ability to output some messages sent to it to standard output so docker logs can see them. Like important events generated by application.

resetting iis process stops container

I've manually made permissions changes to several folders on my container after it's been started with docker-compose up. I now want to reset the iis process to allow these changes to take effect.

Actual Behaviour

Connecting to the container and running iisreset /stop produces the following error

[6f7312adf208...]: PS C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\Documents> iisreset /stop
The background process reported an error with the following message: "The Hyper-V socket target process has ended.".
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingDataStructureException

The container is then stopped and is unable to be restarted (possibly due to #42) with the following output

Service 'w3svc' started 
Service Change Status Notify Callback is called for service 'w3svc' with status '3'
Service 'w3svc' has been stopped 

Expected Behaviour

The iis process is successfully restarted after running iisreset /stop, keeping the container running and updated the permission changes.

Where is the source for ServiceMonitor.exe?

It should either be available or an attribution of where it comes from.

Question: How to get terminal into microsoft/iis container

've used the microsoft/iis image in a docker file that creates a site and copies files into the site's directory. Whenever I run the container I get a 404 file not found. I want to look into the container and see if something got messed up with the file copy. I use the command:

docker run -it -p 80:8000 microsoft/iis:2.0

to run the container. If I use the same command and put "cmd" or "powershell" at the end then it just ouputs:
[2J�[H�[37;40m
Service 'w3svc' started

And my session is hung. Is there something about this container that doesn't allow it to accept a command now? Any ideas for how I could manage this container?

HTTPS best practices?

What are the best practices for hosting an HTTPS website from within an IIS docker container?

the operation timed out... (containers on windows 10)

I apologize I am double posting but I don't know how to reopen this issue.

I was hoping this issue was related limited resources but it is not. Any ideas you can offer would be appreciated....

Issue connecting to interactive session using this container on AWS

Hi, I'm trying to use this container image on AWS Server 2016 AMI's but it does not seem to work.

I have been able to create my own container having the IIS feature in it and that seems to work.

Latest windowsservercore-10.0.14393.693 suspiciously large

I noticed for windowsservercore-10.0.14393.693 a 4+ GB layer is downloaded. This does not match with previous versions, which were in the hundreds of MB as far as I recall.

I lack the Docker expertise to diagnose but it feels like the Windows base layer was also re-downloaded for no reason. Possibly caused by moby/moby#30080 ?

What username/password can be used to access image remotely?

Hello,

How exactly you can work with container with UI based tools (Event Viewer, IIS Manager, Computer Manager etc)?

Restarting container fails

The container starts without a problem but stopping and starting it again produces the following:

PS D:\Dev\DockerTest> docker run -d microsoft/iis
4d18[...]
PS D:\Dev\DockerTest> docker stop 4d18
4d18
PS D:\Dev\DockerTest> docker start -a 4d18
ERROR ( message:New add object missing required attributes. Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'name' set to 'ALLUSERSPROFILE'
. )

APPCMD failed with error code 183

Failed to update IIS configuration

Is this scenario supported? Or should I always create a new container instead?

Images are out of date

microsoft/windowsservercore:10.0.14393.1198 was published several days ago, yet there are no matching iis images.

How to install IIS OOBs in a container - Add sample dockerfiles to demonstrate how to install each OOB.

We've seen multiple issues asking for guidance on how to install IIS OOBs like URL Rewrite and ARR in a container.
Let's try and some guidance around this.

manifest for microsoft/iis:nanoserver not found

Hello,

Error response from daemon: manifest for microsoft/iis:nanoserver not found

Possible problems with ServiceMonitor

I'm using microsoft/aspnet:4.6.2 image. However question applies to all images which are using IIS.
I need to run powershell script on container startup. This one is made through specifying the ENTRYPOINT in Dockerfile: ENTRYPOINT [ "powershell", "./EntryPoint.ps1"]. At the end of ps1 file is added line to run the ServiceMonitor service: C:\ServiceMonitor.exe w3svc.
Does the override of entrypoint is a good idea? Can I execute script before/after starting the ServiceMonitor or there is some negative behavior?

redirection.config Error: Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions

I feel like I've almost got this project running after quite some time of trial and error. Now this error popped up. Is there anyone who knows what might cause this?

Question: How to use environments in IIS websites / web apps?

One question that some of the Docker Captains are discussing at the moment is how to set some environment variables eg. from the ENV or from docker run -e VAR=val to be used in IIS web apps.

As IIS is running as a Windows service it does not catch up these environments. What about using such ServiceMonitor.exe as ENTRYPOINT (or CMD) and set these envs as system environments before starting the Windows Service (IIS must be set to manual before I think).
