• Docker installed and running

The default func runtime being built by the Dockerfile is linux x64.

• Build & start the container:
  • Either cd docker and docker-compose up --build -d
  • Or from root: docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build -d
• Start an interactive bash session: docker exec -it func-cli bash
• You can now use the CLI by running func
• You can exit the container by using exit
• When you want to kill the container, run: docker-compose down

For other runtimes, you can set the TARGET_RUNTIME via build arguments:

• docker-compose build --build-arg TARGET_RUNTIME="win-x64"
• docker-compose up -d

You can also edit the docker-compose file, but this isn't as git friendly.

For testing the windows builds of the Core Tools CLI, you will need to switch the docker engine to Windows containers. You can do this by right-clicking the Docker icon in the system tray and selecting "Switch to Windows containers".

When in windows container mode, follow the same steps as above to build and run the container.

You cannot use docker images to test the OSX builds of the Core Tools CLI, you will need to run them natively on a macOS device.

List of what func supports and what you can test via docker:

• docker ps to see the running containers.
• docker logs func-cli to see the logs.
• docker exec -it func-cli bash to start an interactive shell in the container.
