The following is a sample PS script I use to create Docker containers. All content in ‘<>’ brackets should be replaced with values.

For example:
<license file path> might be something like, C://licenses/version 18.flf

$artifactUrl = Get-BCArtifactUrl -type OnPrem -country us -select Latest
# $imageName = 'mcr.microsoft.com/businesscentral/sandbox:us'
$licenseFile = '<license file path>'
$ContainerName = '<containerName>' # should be the same as the ServerName in launch.json for the app
$UserName = '<userName>'  # this is the Super User for the container
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString '<passwordString>' -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($UserName, $Password)


New-BCContainer `
    -accept_eula `
    -containerName $ContainerName `
    -memoryLimit 6G `
    -artifactUrl $artifactUrl `
    -licenseFile $licenseFile `
    -auth NavUserPassword `
    -updateHosts `
    -isolation hyperV `
    -Credential $Credential `
    -includeTestToolkit
    #-alwaysPull `
    -isolation hyperv `
    #-doNotExportObjectsToText #`
    -includeTestToolkit 
	

When this script runs, it will pull the latest container image from microsoft and will overwrite any container of the same name.

It installs BC as an on-prem version but provides the server-app content via browser.

Notes:

• There must be enough disk space (approx 10GB) remaining on the drive when installing Docker and a BC container
• Switch the Docker instance to Windows Containters (found as a left-mouse-click on the Docker Desktop hidden icon (a whale)

• The *.flf file must be current
• Remember your user name and password; Docker wont
