Installing Docker Desktop and ensuring it&#8217;s running is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_New_Project\"><\/span>Creating a New Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Opening up Visual Studio and starting a new project is the next step. Apply the ASP.NET Core Web Application Template and select a name that suits your taste.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_Docker_Support\"><\/span>Adding Docker Support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The next step after creating a new project is adding Docker support. Find &#8220;Add&#8221; on the Solution Explorer, select Docker support and let it create a Dockerfile in your designated project directory.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Configuring_the_Dockerfile\"><\/span>Configuring the Dockerfile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Dockerfile comes with default settings, but you can unleash its full potential by configuring it to suit your needs. Note that the base image, port mapping, and entry point are some of the essential configurations you&#8217;ll need to modify.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_the_Docker_Image\"><\/span>Building the Docker Image<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the Dockerfile properly configured, the next step is building the Docker image. Right-click the file in the Solution Explorer and choose &#8220;Build Docker Image&#8221; to make a Docker image for your application.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Running_the_Docker_Container\"><\/span>Running the Docker Container<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After creating the Docker image, you can proceed to run the Docker container on your local machine. Select the Docker option from the dropdown menu and select &#8220;Run Docker Configuration&#8221; in the top toolbar of Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We hope this brief guide serves as an eye-opener on how to create a Dockerfile in Visual Studio. The uniqueness and power of Docker as a tool for building and deploying containerized applications are immense, and coupling it with Visual Studio makes it an unbeatable combination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dockerfile: An Astonishingly Powerful Tool for Containerized Application Creation If you&#8217;re into containerized application development, you&#8217;ll be amazed to know that Dockerfile is a powerful&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12340"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12340"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13293,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12340\/revisions\/13293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
