Not able to install packages using chcolatey in docker container

I am building a windows container with following software installed

  1. Notepad++
  2. MariaDB
  3. HeidiSQL
  4. .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.

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'));
