Hello!  
I just wanted to patch dockerd and to run it.  
So, I’ve cloned [https://github.com/moby/moby](https://github.com/moby/moby) and executed such kind of commands to build and run my patched dockerd.

```auto
# Building dockerd
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# systemctl start docker
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# make
...
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# systemctl stop docker

# Running of builded dockerd
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# cd bundles/
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby/bundles# ./binary-daemon/dockerd

```

It compiled successfully, but I’m not able to run any container: I get error like this:

```auto
# Trying to run some container in other terminal
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby/bundles/binary-daemon# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
95309415213f ubuntu "bash" About an hour ago Created heuristic_kilby
0b3a519b622c nginx "nginx -g 'daemon ..." 17 hours ago Created 80/tcp peaceful_torvalds
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby/bundles/binary-daemon# docker start -i 95309415213f
Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: target os mismatch with current os linux
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled

```

1. What is the right algorithm to build and run Docker containers using Moby?
2. How cat I resolve this kind of error?
3. Is it possible to do such kind of build&run on Windows 10/Windows Server 2016?
