How To Use

Requirements before starting:

1. Docker for Desktop
2. JetBrains Gateway or JetBrains Rider

Seriously though, just download JetBrains Toolbox

Download Dockerfile

From above, download the Dockerfile and add it to a folder/location on your disk. You'll need it for the next step.

Building and Running the container

Run the following in a terminal.

docker build -t rdev .
docker run -it -p 2222:22 rdev

Connect using JetBrains Rider

1. From the welcome screen of Rider, select New Connection.

2. Set the following values for the fields. a. Username : root b. Host: localhost c. Port: 2222 d. Password (prompt): root

3. Connect to your new container and git clone a .NET 6 project. Use open an SSH terminal link
4. Set the Project Directory to the path of your .sln or .csproj file. (for example: https://github.com/khalidabuhakmeh/GuidGenie)

5. Click Download and Start IDE.

Have Fun!

this is awesome! i did a prepare build for the installation of the ide with an empty solution, this way one image could be reused for several projects without the need to reinstall the ide each time

steps for reproduction:

• build image with an empty solution file (mkdir default && cd default && dotnet new sln)
• start this image
• connect through gateway app or rider to this container and let the ide installation go through
• save current state of the container (docker commit )

I was trying this but got stuck at downloading the IDE
