# Windows 2000 on Docker
A Docker image for Windows 2000 Advanced Server with SP4.
## Start an instance
```sh
docker run --detach \
--name qemu-win2000 \
--device /dev/kvm \
--publish 127.0.0.1:3389:3389/tcp \
--publish 127.0.0.1:5900:5900/tcp \
--publish 127.0.0.1:6080:6080/tcp \
--mount type=volume,src=qemu-win2000-disk,dst=/var/lib/qemu/disk/ \
docker.io/hectorm/qemu-win2000:latest
```
> [!NOTE]
> The `--device /dev/kvm` option can only be used on Linux hosts, it can be removed on Windows and macOS hosts at a significant performance penalty.
The instance can be accessed from:
* **RDP** (`3389/TCP`), user `Administrator`, password `password`.
* **VNC** (`5900/TCP`), without password.
* **noVNC** (`6080/TCP`), http://127.0.0.1:6080/vnc.html
* `docker exec -it qemu-win2000 vmshell`
Additionally the contents of the `/mnt/` directory in the container will be exposed on the `Z:` drive via SMB.
## Environment variables
#### `VM_CPU`
Number of cores the VM is permitted to use (`2` by default).
#### `VM_RAM`

#### `VM_KEYBOARD`

## Why?
> "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should."
