You can certainly grow them in your container. Here is a bit of How-To info. I think it will answer most of your questions.

Pots are a great way to grow strawberries. The berries you want to grow in pots are the day neutral strawberries. seascape, tribute and tri-star. June barriers will only put out one croup in our area during late June while the day neutral will produce berries up until we get a frost in October. you plant in early spring. I get some of my berries here.
