Welcome to the new Nano Server blog
For our first blog post, I’ll start with some links to various resources about Nano Server.
Build session that is more developer focused: https://channel9.msdn.com/events/build/2015/2-755
Ignite session that is more ITPro focused: https://myignite.microsoft.com/#/videos/4fdbc266-b5ac-e411-b87f-00155d5066d7
Video demos of Nano Server: https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Nano-Server-Team
Nano Server deployment guide: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt126167.aspx
Nano Server user voice feedback site: https://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/295068-nano-server
To try out Nano Server, download the Windows Server Technical Preview 2 ISO from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-technical-preview?i=1. There is a Nano Server folder in the image and the deployment guide will get you started.
We are working on getting a TechNet forum setup for asking questions and getting discussions going. Once we have that, we’ll post a link to it here.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the clarification on the known issue. I'll try out the setupcomplete.cmd with ipconfig after work.

Hi,
hope to see some content coming to this blog very soon.
Meanwhile I have started testing NanoServer and it looks pretty cool: http://www.happysysadm.com/2015/06/how-to-build-your-first-fantastic-nano.html
Can't wait to test more features.

Is there any instructions on using Docker on Nano Server? does it come pre-installed or one needs a special version to run on it? (given the current Docker for Windows is based on VirtualBox) - Anonymous
August 14, 2015
@Robert, if I understand it all correctly..
the Docker team is working with Microsoft team on GitHub: https://github.com/docker/docker/ (see the pull request by jhowardmsft and friends:https://github.com/docker/docker/pulls/jhowardmsft). It is at the verge of getting completed. The difference between the ÄDocker support for windows" today and what's coming next is that today docker requires an instance of a (headless) Linux to run on Windows. In future, it will not only run on Windows, but also we will be able to run Windows from Linux, FreeBSD, Mac etc. and vice versa without any overhead.
I heard that Microsoft will officially announce this native/real Docker support arrival in Server Conference later this year or in the first quarter of 2016. They have already announced that it is forthcoming in //BUILD/ conf.
With Windows Server core and nano in the mix, we will be able to fire-up a headless Windows from anywhere, just like we can do with Unices today! - Anonymous

Nano server does not support hibernation. But I will add this to our feature backlog for consideration. Is there a specific scenario in which you need support for hibernation on Nano Server?

The current NanoServer has version 10.0.14300.0 which is out of this range.
