Not able to install packages using chcolatey in docker container - windows

Question

I am building a windows container with following software installed
Notepad++
MariaDB
HeidiSQL
.NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5
This is the docker image I created.
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/mhhaji/winserver2016_base
What I tried :
Steps to run the container
docker run --name mycontainer mhhaji/winserver2016_base:v1 ping -t localhost
docker exec -it mycontainer powershell
Once powershell is running,
I execute the following commands
Get-PackageProvider
#Chocolatey is not existing so I install chocolatey
Find-Package -Provider chocolatey
#Enter [Y] when prompted
#Install notepad++
Find-Package -Provider chocolatey -name notepad*
I get the following error
PS C:\> Find-Package -Provider chocolatey -name notepad*
WARNING: NuGet: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
PS C:\> Find-Package -Provider chocolatey -name mariadb

I was able to download chocolatey so connecting to external endpoints doesnt seem to be a problem.
Update:
Seems like nuget is not installed in my image. Looking for solution but not able to find.

Answer 1

Make sure your system is able to support TLS 1.2 as that is necessary for chocolatey to run
PS> [Enum]::GetNames([Net.SecurityProtocolType]) -contains 'Tls12'
Enable TLS 1.2 for your system
PS> [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Finally install chocolatey directly from source
PS> iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'));
