Publishing extension app to BC25 Docker container fails

[ndardagan]

Publishing extension app to BC25 Container fails I created a Docker container with bccontainerhelper using Business Central 25 artifact and my bak file on Windows 11 machine. Container is sucessfully created and I can access the webclient, but publishing my extension app from VS Code fails. There is no meaningfull error message in VS Code or event log. My app can be published to comapnies OnPrem service.

Container created with a same script and bak file on Windows 10 machine is completly functional. Publishing of the same app is also possible.

Environment Details I am using Windows 11 on the latest update, Docker Desktop on version 4.34.3 and bccontainerhelper on version 6.0.25.

This is the scripts used to create container and cause the issue

$artifactUrl = Get-BCArtifactUrl -version 25.0 -country at -type OnPrem
$containerName = "MB25DEV"

$licenseFile = "C:\ProgramData\BcContainerHelper\License\CurrentBusinessCentralOnPremisesLicense.bclicense"
$bakFile = "C:\ProgramData\BcContainerHelper\Database\MBAT25DEV_Docker_2024-10-08.bak"

New-BCContainer -accept_eula `
                -artifactUrl $artifactUrl `
                -containerName $containerName `
                -auth $auth `
                -Credential $credential `
                -licenseFile $licenseFile `
                -updateHosts `
                -isolation hyperv `
                -alwaysPull `
                -bakFile $bakFile

Could you share the container creation on the working Windows 10 machine in order to see the difference?

On the host, in a command prompt - can you:

ping mb25dev

Is c:\windows\system32\etc\drivers\hosts updated with a line for mb25dev?

[freddydk]

Is there any difference if you use a container name with only lowercase characters?
