Description
The chocolatey install (install.ps1) does not work with NanoServer image for Docker, mainly because WebClient is not supported. A workaround would be to use Invoke-WebRequest instead.
See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-docker/manage-windows-dockerfile
I'm still trying to install it by hand and let you know if there are other problems.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with install.ps1 and the linked Windows container guidance; reproduce the Chocolatey installation in a Windows Nano Server Docker image and inspect the WebClient dependency. Done means the install completes successfully on Nano Server without relying on unsupported WebClient behavior.
