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 take this opportunity to introduce Docker Compose tool which is a tool for defining and running multi-container applications. Docker Compose comes together with the Docker installation on Windows machine so you should be all set. The starting point source code can be found on the docker-series-dockerfiles-end branch of our docker-series repo on GitHub. So let’s see what we are going to...

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 dockerizing our ASP.NET Core application with Dockerfiles, and understanding how Dockerfile syntax works. We are also going to spend some effort in optimizing our images to achieve the best results. This is the third part of our Docker Series. You can find all the parts on our Docker Series page. To...
