Download docker for windows.

So with Windows we can use hyper-V and get containers spawned in minutes.

Here is how we do it.

Make sure you have Hyper-V enabled on windows if not go to turn on windows feature and turn this feature On. Once this is done with restart.

Use Hyper-V Manager for Windows to create a Virtual Switch



Now use the following commands to create the docker containers

docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Primary Virtual Switch" default

this will create a VM, you can see this with Hyper-V manager or

docker-machine ls

once the machine is created you need to set some of the machine details in Environments Variables

to list the variables use

docker-machine env default

Now set the env vairables as below using bash

eval $("C:\Users\arjun_shetty\bin\docker-machine.exe" env default --shell bash)

No go ahead an use an existing docker images to test

docker run -it hello-world
docker run -it supertest2014/nyan


** CTRL + C is come out of it

For a complete reference on doing these projects consider this great resource . You can always use VSCode terminal to run these above commands as well, also note you can open multiple terminals the same VSCode instance like this .

Photo by  Vincent van Zalinge  on  Unsplash Here is .NET Core application I was working on which had a similar kind of ask, and I wanted to use VSCode to debug my application. This is how we do it, first, we need to create a solution so that we keep both the API and Web project in one place dotnet new sln -n appname dotnet sln add src/appname/appname.web.csproj dotnet sln add src/appname/apname.api.csproj Open "launch.json" and Click on add configuration and add then select .NET Core Launch (web)  No go ahead and rename to web or web-api, also add a development URL with a different than web configs the "env" property "env": { "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development", "ASPNETCORE_URLS": ...

It feels good when you have company doing mistakes or anything else. So here is how make sure this does not happen again.

Before using it remove the sensitive value of the property you are trying to hide. In my case it is  "TwilioAuthToken":""  in  appsettings.json  file. Now in the terminal run this below command, dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.SecretManager.Tools We have the necessary tools required to run the commands on  user-secrets . Lets create a key value vault for our project in * .csproj  file like this <PropertyGroup> <UserSecretsId>LocalKeyVault</UserSecretsId> </PropertyGr...
