Dockerfiles for Windows

All have been built and tested under Windows Server 2016 TP5.

• sqlexpress: SQL Server 2014 Express
  • See sqlexpress\dockerfile for usage details
  • See also my blog post Dockerfile to create SQL Server Express windows container image for a detailed description
• dotnet-aspnet46-webapp: ASP.NET 4.6 Web UI app ("bcw" Bike Commuter Weather app), running under IIS - built in the Dockerfile using msbuild
  • There is a docker-compose.yml file in dotnet-aspnet46-webapp, to run both ui and service locally - however, docker-compose network mode functionality is limited as of TP5: The app will be accessible from outside only if run via docker run, not docker-compose
• python-rest-service: Python REST web service consumed by the "bcw" UI above
• swarm-windows: Docker Swarm executable for Windows
• postgresql: PostgreSQL 9.5
• ruby-sinatra-helloworld: simple "hello world" ruby sinatra web app
• jdk8: Java JDK 8

Each of the above is entirely self-contained - all you need is what's in the dockerfile folder:

• docker build -t sqlexpress ./sqlexpress
  • docker run -d -p 1433:1433 sqlexpress
  • The sa password (specified in the Dockerfile) is: thepassword2#
• docker build -t bcwui ./dotnet-aspnet46-webapp
  • docker run -d -e WeatherServiceUrl=http://**pythonRestServiceHost**.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com:5000 -p 80:80 bcwui
  • navigate to http://**publichostname**/rushhourweatherapp
• docker build -t bcwservice ./python-rest-service
  • docker run -d -e WUNDERGROUND_API_KEY=YourWundergroundApiKey -p 5000:5000 bcwservice
• docker build -t swarm ./swarm-windows
  • docker run --rm swarm create
• docker build -t postgresql ./postgresql
  • docker run -d -p 5432:5432 postgresql
  • test using a client such as pgAdmin III, psql or the "DB Navigator" plugin for Jetbrains IDEs IntelliJ IDEA and others - login as user 'postgres', empty password
• docker build -t ruby-sinatra-helloworld ./ruby-sinatra-helloworld
  • docker run -d -p 4567:4567 ruby-sinatra-helloworld
• docker build -t jdk8 ./jdk8
  • (intended as a base image for app requiring jdk to build)

Azure Resource Manager Template to create Docker Windows Container Host

Below is an example of using an Azure Resource Template to install a Windows Server 2016 TP5 Docker Windows Containers host on Azure, using Azure CLI (which may be configured to run on Windows using a Cygwin terminal window as described here):

$ azure group create -n "cliEastUsRG" -l "East US"

Substitute a unique node name for the "dnsNameForPublicIP" parameter before running the following command in place of uniqueWindowsNodeName, such as "myname-win-node" (you can also substitute for the Azure123 and Azure!23 default admin username and password, respectively) - this operation can take up to 20 minutes to complete:

$ azure group deployment create cliEastUsRG win-node --template-uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bucrogers/Dockerfiles-for-windows/master/dotnet-aspnet46-webapp/azuredeploy.json -p '{"adminUsername": {"value": "Azure123"}, "adminPassword": {"value": "Azure!23"}, "dnsNameForPublicIP": {"value": "uniqueWindowsNodeName"}, "VMName": {"value": "win-node"},"location": {"value": "East US"}}'

Because Azure Marketplace does not currently offer a Container-ready TP5 image, you'll need to take the following additional step, which takes about 45min:

• Remote Desktop: uniqueWindowsNodeName.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com
• Command Prompt (Admin)

> powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass \install-containerhost
> docker images
REPOSITORY                TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
windowsservercore         10.0.14300.1000     dbfee88ee9fd        5 weeks ago         9.344 GB
