Using `<details>` in GitHub

Suppose you're opening an issue and there's a lot noisey logs that may be useful.

Rather than wrecking readability, wrap it in a <details> tag!

<details>
 Summary Goes Here

Create a resource group

Create a resource group in Azure to hold all of the resources you'll be creating:

Virtual Network
Virtual Machines

Create a VNet

Don't use 172.* IPs. I used 10.3.0.0/24

2021 Update: Easiest option is Justin's repo and image

Just run this from your Mac terminal and it'll drop you in a container with full permissions on the Docker VM. This also works for Docker for Windows for getting in Moby Linux VM (doesn't work for Windows Containers).

docker run -it --rm --privileged --pid=host justincormack/nsenter1

Booting Windows Server 2016 Core from eMMC devices

Comparing drivers between Desktop & Core editions

The Windows installation ISO contains multiple Windows image files (WIM):

boot.wim - this is used to boot the Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) for a clean install
install.wim - this contains the image(s) that will be installed.

The Windows Server 2016 ISO contains multiple versions in this single install.wim file which is why the same media can be used to install Standard or Datacenter editions, with the desktop experience or without it (core).

This document outlines steps and common tasks for setting up a arm64 dev machine for LinuxKit.

Notes on packet.net

If you set up a server on packet.net using the docker account please use your name/slackhandle/initials in the machine name. We will garbage collect machine and whack machine not adhering to this policy without warning :).

Deploy a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server on packet.net and ssh in as root.
