Docker desktop is not supported on Windows Server, only Windows 10/11. It's called out in the FAQ ( https://docs.docker.com/desktop/faqs/windowsfaqs/ ). You can via WSL2 install the docker engine in a distro like Ubuntu. Your users would need to be able to launch WSL2 and have sudo access to start the docker daemon.
It's important to be aware that our docker container is not intended to be used by multiple developers simultaneously. For clarity, I mean multiple developers connected to a single instance of the docker container. This is because functionality like previewing your changes will not work unless each user is running their own container image because the preview is running on a single port. If you have multiple developers using the same container, they will be conflicting with one another.
Developers each running their own version of the container (either on different ports on the same machine or on different machines) would work, though if they're modifying the same application just be aware that whomever publishes last wins.

Hello,
We are trying to setup docker desktop as windows service (Windows 2022 with WSL 2 ), but facing issues on starting docker engine as a service.
We do have multiple containers created for the development. But facing an issue that docker desktop can be started by only one admin user and the containers will only be visible for the same admin who created it.
Trying to use a service account but facing privilege issues.
Can someone please support with the steps or documents needed for the same.

We list all the configuration images and which version of Maximo Mobile they are designed to support here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6408032.
It's critical that you pick the appropriate version of the image for your Maximo Mobile version. The graphite tooling is embedded in the configuration image and is designed to support only that graphite version. Using the 8.10 image on an 8.9 version of Maximo Mobile for example will lead to issues because in 8.10 we removed the container control and the 8.9 apps we shipped out of box still used it. Reverse is also true where using the 8.9 image for an 8.10 application would fail because we have additional controls or options in 8.10 that weren't available in 8.9. The graphite version embedded in the container is also bundled into the built application so any fixes we made at a graphite level would not get implemented if you use an old version of the config image.
While you'll typically be OK using the latest on the same major version (IE using the latest 8.10 image even if you're on 8.10 IFIX 01), I try to keep it consistent personally and will pull the specific image (IE 8.10.2) rather than use the easier 8.10 which will pull the latest 8.10 at the time you pull the image.
