NullifyNetwork

Testing posting again to repro the issue.

This is the development instance of the nullify blog. Please return to the production site :)

Once you've installed PodMan, run the following command in the Windows Terminal to get the Docker CLI installed:-

winget.exe install --id Docker.DockerCLI

With this added, Visual Studio will stop complaining about the lack of Docker Desktop, and start to run things, the container tools will also work.  You can also then change the settings which start/stop Docker Desktop in Visual Studio's Tools, Options menu.

For those in a corporate environment, this should save a lot of money on Docker Desktop seats!

Upgrading to .NET 8 revealed a gotcha in the new docker containers, they changed the port number of the webserver inside the container from port 80 to port 8080, so you need to update any compose configurations you have or port mappings.

The link discussing this is here.
