Autostart docker containers in Windows?

[IamSpartacus]

I'm having trouble finding any good documentation on how to get docker containers to autostart with Windows. Can someone point me towards how to do this?

i would probably create a batch file to start the dockers, then put it into windows scheduler with task to run whenever the system boots.
There might be a better way to do this but the above first thing that came to me.

The problem is that requires login. I want to get a docker and specific containers to auto start with Windows without user login.

You can have tasks run at startup with Task Scheduler

This works with non-local (domain) accounts?

It does.

Sweet. I'll give this a shot. Thanks!

Alright, I accomplished this by creating a scheduled task that calls "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker for Windows.exe". My container is set to --restart always so it starts with the docker service.
