Run the Container

Run the Container to launch an interactive development shell with your local project mounted:

docker run --rm -it \
  -v "$(pwd)":/home/developer/work \
  viscalyx/devshell-dsc:latest

Using PowerShell:

docker run --rm -it -v "${PWD}:/home/developer/work" viscalyx/devshell-dsc:latest

Example Usage

1. From your development machine, clone a DSC resource repository:

   git clone git@github.com:dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc.git
   cd SqlServerDsc

2. Start the container with the cloned repository mounted:

   docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/developer/work viscalyx/devshell-dsc:latest

3. Once inside the container, for this example, start PowerShell

   pwsh

4. Build the project, and then list available DSC resources:

   ./build.ps1 -ResolveDependency -Tasks build
   dsc resource list --adapter Microsoft.Dsc/PowerShell
