Install Docker for Windows (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
- Switch Docker to Windows Containers:
- Docker images will be saved to your C:\ Drive by default, which you can override by updating the Deamon
config file and specifying a value for
graph.
- It's probably also worth noting that Docker will use your Windows TEMP location for extracting downloaded images.
-
Open Powershell and run
docker pull microsoft/mssql-server-windows. This will download the latest SQL Server windows container image. This isn't strictly necessary, but will save time when you first press f5 in VS. -
Open Visual Studio 2017 (or above) as administrator and load the solution
-
Press f5
The solution consists of:
- Web application (WebApplication1)
- WebApi (WindowsContainers)
- Two ReadyRoll projects (StockDatabase, PriceDatabase)
As defined in the docker-compose.yml file, when you hit f5, four containers will be launched. Two of which
are SQL Servers. Once built the page loaded will be http://{IPAddress-of-WebApplication1-service-container}/Home/Product
You can see what containers are currently running using the powershell command docker ps. This will
give you the container Id which is useful if you want to interact with the conmtainer directly.
If you want to kill all running containers use docker kill $(docker ps -q) or to kill specific ones use the
container id e.g. docker kill 123456
To delete the containers use docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
If you want to powershell into the container use docker exec -it <containerId> powershell
To connect to one of the SQL Servers, you can use SSMS with the container Id as the server name.
