Yes thats right, here I am going to show you two commands which will download the latest Business central image and install in your already installed docker environment.
So Here we go, first you need to install Docker from here (if its not already there)
After it installs successfully run the below command either in Windows Power Shell or Windows Power Shell ISE, dont forget to run with Administrator rights.
install-module bccontainerhelper -force $artifactUrl = Get-BcArtifactUrl -type sandbox -country us -select latest New-BCContainer -accept_eula -containerName test -artifactUrl $artifactUrl
Let me brief you about line by line
install-module bccontainerhelper -force
The first line, you need to install BCContainerHelper module with the help of powershell, which makes it easier to work with Business Central Containers on Docker., You can see the latest changes of this module from Here
$artifactUrl = Get-BcArtifactUrl -type sandbox -country us -select latest
The second line, Get-BcArtifactUrl ,Get a list of available artifact URLs. It can be used to create a new instance of a Container. second parameter the type like here Sandbox, which country version you want I put here US and it will get the latest version, read from here
New-BCContainer -accept_eula -containerName test -artifactUrl $artifactUrl
In the third line, New-BCContainer command as a parameter here will help you to create a new container in docker with the parameter we are giving, like -ContainerName, here we are giving Test, and what would be the BC image with $artifactUrl
You can read more about all those commands and parameter from here
After install everything you will the below commands ran and will give your the path how you can run latest Business central in your environment.
