Windows container image builds with Docker plugin?

[akielbas]

Is it possible to build Windows container images with the Docker plugin: Docker | Drone ?

[bradrydzewski]

The docker plugin uses docker-in-docker, which is not supported by docker on windows. Instead, we (the Drone team) use the ssh runner and / or the exec runner for windows pipelines, which allows us to build the image directly on the host.

Here is an example:

• https://github.com/drone-runners/drone-runner-docker/blob/master/.drone.yml
• https://github.com/drone-runners/drone-runner-docker/blob/master/scripts/windows/latest.ps1
• https://github.com/drone-runners/drone-runner-docker/blob/master/scripts/windows/tag.ps1
