I cloned the repository

Changed into the clone directory and attempted to build the sample
PS C:\samples\example-voting-app> docker-compose up

I'm running on a Windows 10 dev box with the Docker for Windows client installed. It is running in Windows Container mode.

Any ideas why the sample will not come up?

Yes, all these containers are Linux base containers. You need to switch to Linux mode.

Ah, got it. This comment from the Getting Started page (https://github.com/dockersamples/example-voting-app/ on the Readme.md) confused me:
"Download Docker. If you are on Mac or Windows, Docker Compose will be automatically installed. On Linux, make sure you have the latest version of Compose."

I mistakenly took that to mean that this sample was designed to work with any of the platforms.

Is it possible to note at the start of that readme that this is a Linux sample - you can run it on the Windows platform by switching to Linux containers? Might be clearer for new folks to understand.

Thanks for your response!
