Some official support would be great. I'm struggling to even get the Visual Studio tools to work here - hoping that 4.1 will fix that since it can be full on .net core and we can drop net461 completely. Having to move to a manual docker image creation workflow.

Having clustering and orchestration will be very nice. Maybe less dependency on file system with data settings in json and utilize Azure Key Vault?

Could make that as part of the setup - put in config settings for keyvault - use those in session to auth in, grab DB settings and then move on?

+1 for an official docker version in GitHub.
+2 with instructions for nginx docker pre-configured for nopCommerce

Good news! I was able to pull the 4.1 beta down and confirm my suspicion - having a true full asp.net core project (not a weird mix of core targeting net461) and Docker tools worked out of the box on the new solution! Plane landed so I had to close laptop and haven't actually run the container yet but that is a big step.

Still - having an official Docker image to use as a Base is a must. This is the future of development and deployment.

I've managed to build and start nopCommerce 4.10 in a Linux Docker container based on the official image: microsoft/dotnet:2.1-aspnetcore-runtime

The server started listening and I can open it in a browser. NopCommerce tried to start the install process but it failed because of this error:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/app/App_Data\Localization\Installation\'.

I think the next step would be to resolve paths in a platform-independent manner and solve other Linux related issues. I think once #3095 will be closed the container will work. By the way, it's in the 4.20 milestone.
