Dockerfile

About

This guide describes building WNBD using a Docker Windows container, leveraging the Docker file provided by WNBD.

The resulting container provides all the build requirements (e.g. Visual Studio), without bloating the host.

This simple example uses an interactive shell, feel free to automate the process, maybe copying the resulting binaries to a different location.

Building the image

docker build . -t wnbd_build

Run container using the resulting image

The following command will enter an interactive container shell. This shell provides the prerequisites for building WNBD.

docker run -it wnbd_build

Clone and build WNBD via VS 2019 command prompt

Run the following commands in the container interactive shell.

git clone https://github.com/cloudbase/wnbd
msbuild wnbd\vstudio\wnbd.sln
copy wnbd\vstudio\x64\Debug\driver\* .
copy wnbd\vstudio\x64\Debug\wnbd-client.exe .
copy wnbd\vstudio\x64\Debug\libwnbd.dll .
