Setup a Jenkins Pipeline for local development environment in Docker container CI/CD pipelines allow us to automatically build, test and deploy code changes. With Jenkins pipeline , the pipeline itself is generated from a file called the Jenkinsfile which, usually, is source controlled together with the source code repository. When we need to push new changes, what we would usually do, is test locally and then commit to the repository. From there, the Jenkins pipeline will trigger and build, test on the integration server and deploy to a testable environment (DEV/QA). But what do we do when the changes that we are making are on the Jenkinsfile itself? How do we test locally the validity of the Jenkinsfile or more simply, how do we try on a sandbox a Jenkins pipeline to learn how to write a Jenkinsfile? Today we will see how we can setup a sandbox with a full CI/CD deployment which can be quickly brought up and teared down for testing. Jenkins server via docker Jenkins pipeline Sim...

Docker compose an ASP NET Core application with SQL Server Last week we saw how we could install and run an ASP NET Core application in a container , we saw how Visual Studio uses docker-compose to setup our services. Today we will see how we can use compose to setup a cluster composed by an ASP NET Core application container with a SQL Server container and how we can place in a third party process. This post will be composed by three parts: Setup SQL Server container on its own Setup an ASP NET Core application with SQL Server Setup a Flyway as migration tool 1. Setup SQL Server container on its own If you haven’t installed Docker, follow my previous blog post . The SQL Server Docker image can be downloaded from mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest . So first we can start by running the container: docker run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "SA_PASSWORD=MyPassword001" -p 1433:1433 --name sqlserver-test -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest -e spec...

Deploy ASP NET Core application on Docker Linux container from Windows Few weeks ago we saw how we could run ASP NET Core application on Ubuntu . This proving that a .NET Core Application can run on a Linux system, today we will be taking it a step further and see how we can deploy our application in a Docker Linux container. This post will be composed by three parts: Install Docker on Windows Docker basic commands Create ASP NET Core application 1. Install Docker on Windows The first step is to go to the official site, sign up and download Docker CE . Once downloaded, install Docker. After being installed you should be able to right click on the icon > Settings on the Docker notification icon and see that Docker is running by checking the status at the bottom left, it should say Docker is running . Open PowerShell and type docker run hello-world . $ docker run hello-world Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world...
