Its much easier and cleaner (with something such as the OP) has described to start with a monolithic solution and get that working and then step by step back it out in a docker container (if that is the solution that makes sense) Too many people jump into it without much/any understanding of its strengths and weaknesses Yep i agree Docker is fantastic BUT it is the proverbial 'I have a nail' so everything else is a hammer. Maybe this is an opportunity to post my findings. I will take a step back and exclude Docker and see if I can get everything else working (Drop a file into a folder, Execute a C# console app).

I have basically been searching the web on how to do this without much success.the reason for this post. When I tried to run my C#.exe program not only did it not work but the instance of NR crashed too and had to be restarted. Like I stated I was testing on NR with Alpine container. Of course we are a MS shop and no Linux but I was hoping to use Linux in the NR container.maybe not from some of your comments. Furthermore, if something breaks in production I can easily roll back to prior version using the previous docker image. Docker benefits when trying to maintain a multitude (Test, UA, Prod) of versions on my machine and only having to move ONE docker image to a production machine. Where software installs are limiting but loading docker containers seem to be available (go figure?). I am a software developer and am trying to see if NR would work in a corporate setting. I have been using NR for a year or more on Raspberry PI with HA. Thanks to everyone who commented! Yes my Docker knowledge is short. I am sure someone has done this right? If so can you point me in the right direction. I see bits and pieces around but nothing that really works. Eventually would like Docker containers of Dev and Prod.EXE generates Excel files that will be on the Host folder and subfolders. How to do this in Docker?Ĭ.ěased on 1.b a C#. The EXE connects to ODBC and pulls data from an internal SQL DB. The EXE is on the Host but if it could be within another Docker Container that would be great.ī. Node-Red needs to triggers a C# EXE when 1b is metĪ.Used Node-Red as a File Watcher (inotify) on Host for a specific file in a folder or subfolder.

Does Node-Red need to install on a Windows Container?ī.

The Host is Windows 10 (currently) I have been using the Node-Red Alpine Linux version for a Docker container. However I am trying to get Node-Red to work like this:Ī. I must say up front I really like the UI on Node-Red.
