Dockerfile

# Copyright 2025-2026 The MathWorks, Inc.
# This Dockerfile allows you to build a Windows® Docker® image with MATLAB® using the MATLAB Package Manager.
# You can then use a MATLAB batch licensing token to license MATLAB in the container. Use the optional build arguments to
# customize the version of MATLAB, and the list of products to install.

# Here is an example docker build command with the optional build arguments.
# docker build --build-arg MATLAB_RELEASE=R2026a
#              --build-arg MATLAB_PRODUCT_LIST="MATLAB Deep_Learning_Toolbox Symbolic_Math_Toolbox"
#              -t my_matlab_image_name .

# To specify which MATLAB release to install in the container, edit the value of the MATLAB_RELEASE argument.
# Use uppercase to specify the release, for example: ARG MATLAB_RELEASE=R2021b
ARG MATLAB_RELEASE="R2026a"

# Specify the list of products to install into MATLAB.
ARG MATLAB_PRODUCT_LIST="MATLAB"

# This Dockerfile uses the Windows base image which contains the full Windows API set. For details, see https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/windows
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows:ltsc2019
