TIL: Docker

Last night, I went to a local .NET User Group meetup and got my first taste of Docker.

In my case, I ended up running on Elementary OS rather than Windows, but the experience was a good one, going through the tutorials. In the end, I installed Solr and was able to load a document for indexing.  Installing nginx was also easy.

If you are interested in installing Docker in a Windows environment, start with Mano Marks’s article on the topic. You can also look at the Docker Tools for Visual Studio.
