In the previous post, we've discussed why continuous integration is important, what makes a good CI tool and after that, we've set up a basic TeamCity project to build our application using Docker. But continuous integration is much more than that, so in this article,...
So far in this series, we've gone through a lot of different concepts and learned a thing or two about Docker. We've learned how powerful it can be and how to build and run images in several different ways. We dockerized our ASP.NET Core application and added MySQL...
In the previous part, we've learned how to utilize Docker Compose to tie multiple containers together with a single command. We've added a MySQL database to our ASP.NET Core application and successfully run it. Before proceeding further, we need to learn more about...
In the previous post, we've dockerized our ASP.NET Core application. In this post, we are going to add a MySQL database as another container and connect it with our application. Since we'll have multiple containers running we are going to introduce the Docker Compose...
In the previous part, we've gone through some scenarios to show off the Docker's potential. We have also seen how to utilize Docker CLI and even made the simplest Dockerfiles to learn how to build the images using Docker. In this article, we are going to focus on...
Now that we've prepared our ASP.NET Core application, we are going to learn how to install and use Docker on Windows 10, the reasons behind using Docker, and some useful Docker CLI commands. Understanding how the Docker CLI works is crucial, and you'll most definitely...
