This repository demonstrates how to build Windows Docker images using GitHub Actions - perfect for developers who need to create Windows containers without access to a Windows machine.

1. Fork this repository
2. Set up Docker Hub secrets in your GitHub repository:
   • DOCKERHUB_USERNAME
   • DOCKERHUB_TOKEN
3. Push to main branch or create a tag to trigger the build

• Simple Python Flask web application
• Windows-based Dockerfile
• GitHub Actions workflow for automated builds
• Example of Windows container best practices

A simple Flask web application that displays:

• Container hostname
• Python version
• Operating system information

If you have a Windows machine with Docker Desktop:

# Build the image docker build -t windows-python-app . # Run the container docker run -p 80:80 windows-python-app

Visit http://localhost to see the app running.

This repository uses GitHub Actions to automatically:

1. Build the Windows Docker image
2. Push to Docker Hub (on main branch pushes and tags)
3. Handle versioning and tagging

. ├── .github/ │ └── workflows/ │ └── build.yaml ├── app.py ├── requirements.txt ├── Dockerfile └── README.md 

The Dockerfile:

1. Uses Windows Server Core as base image
2. Installs Python in a Windows environment
3. Sets up the application
4. Configures the container for web access

1. Go to your repository Settings
2. Navigate to Secrets and Variables → Actions
3. Add required secrets:
   • DOCKERHUB_USERNAME: Your Docker Hub username
   • DOCKERHUB_TOKEN: Your Docker Hub access token
