Docker is an open source software that allows you to create and run containers to isolate and virtualize applications. Microsoft has provided us with a very powerful and efficient tool through the availability of NAV Docker images and navcontainerhelper.

Over the last few days, I’ve been doing a bit of research on Azure KeyVaults in BC. Actually. we want to setup our Extensions to retrieve API keys, passwords etc. from the latter.

So we took a look into the Partner Center to find out that the new bccontainerhelper now has its own functions for that. So this is just a little update on this: In […]

Credentials for this private repository could be found at Microsoft Collaborate (read more). So, here’s my snippet to use with navcontainerhelper. Now you can easily create your Docker container using New-BCContainer.
