Docker Compose with .NET Core & SQL Server (Step by Step)

In this step by step tutorial, we show you how to use Docker Compose to spin up a .NET Core API with a SQL Server backend, with each running in their own Docker Container.

Fun fact (from someone in the US): We don't use the "u" in words like color because news papers used to charge by the letter to print. It got dropped and stuck that way. Awesome video!

Sir, I cannot begin to thank you enough.
You've pretty much set me on my way not only in regards to docker but in many other things.
Once more, THANK YOUI!

@Les: I am a .net developer I am really struggling to understand the concept of the docker and how does it is used in the real-world scenarios. Your videos really help me to understand the concept and as well as I can relate with a real-world scenario. Thank You Very Much for all the effort and time you put together to cover the content.

Hi Les, this is a great startup video and I was wondering is there any chance that you could make a more advanced version of it? The topics that I would like to know more about would be:

1. Setting up custom .env files with your docker-compose files.
2. Setting up volumes to persist various SQL Server container data.
3. Running SQL scripts against the containarized SQL Server instance, not via EF migration but via docker-compose command possibly?
4. Overwritting appsettings.json variables via environment variables in docker-compose.

Best tutorial for docker learners. Please do some videos on kubernetes from .Net core developer prospective.
- Pods deletion
- increase replicas
- High level overview for developers who can handle production builds.

Great video, so much noise in internet, but no one explain in a simple way. It is straight to the point and clean explanation, Thank you. it will be great if you can make a video related topic how DotnetCore unit test test project will communicate with SQL server, I think it will be very small chnage in docker file. right now I am trying to do this stuff.
