Detailed guides to set up docker on windows behind a firewall

Recently just set up a docker to work under windows behind a corporate firewall

Prerequisite:
 - Enable VT-X in BIOS
 - Setup Server environment variable in the host PC
   HTTP_PROXY=http://<proxy>:<port>
   HTTPS_PROXY=http://<proxy>:<port>
   NO_PROXY=192.168.99.100

1. Download docker toolbox for windows and install it

2. Start Docker quick terminal
I removed the default image and recreate one.
docker-machine stop default
docker-machine rm default

3. Create a image named dev
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox dev

4. Set up the start environment variable
docker-machine env dev
eval $("C:\program files\docker toolbox\docker-machine.exe" env dev)
docker ps

5.Remote SSH to the image and set up proxy in it
docker-machine ssh dev
sudo -s
echo "export HTTP_PROXY=http://<proxy>:<port>" >> /var/lib/boot2docker/profile
echo "export HTTPS_PROXY=http://<proxy>:<port>" >> /var/lib/boot2docker/profile

cat /var/lib/boot2docker/profile
exit

6. Restart the image
docker-machine restart dev

7. Run hello-world to test
docker run hello-world

-----
There are also a few useful command to use
docker ps -a
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd):/var/www -w /var/www node npm start

Updated, just found a blog talking about this as well.

Tangling with Git proxy settings in windows

To set up git proxy globally, you need to run this command

git config --global http.proxy "http://<your proxy>:<port>"

However, it returned me error,

error: could not lock config file H:\/.gitconfig: No such file or
directory error: could not lock config file

To fix it, need to set up the %HOME% environment variable to your user profile path

1. echo %userprofile%

2. create a new environment variable as HOME = the user profile directory

And then you can run the config http.proxy command.

Setting up Github with Visual Studio Code

Visual studio code support work with GitHub, you can reference the below link for the detailed steps,
http://michaelcrump.net/using-github-with-visualstudio-code/

The main command is the below to run in a command shell,

git remote add origin https://github.com/xinzhang/SampleProject.git
git push -u origin master

Then the config file in the .git folder will become as below,

[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/mbcrump/SampleProject.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master

After this is done, you commit the changes but there is still the below commands to run to be able to run PUSH from Visual Studio Code,

git config --global credential.helper wincred
git config --global user.name "YOUR NAME"

git config --global user.email "YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS"

Get Ionic framework working behind proxy

I have the error to create a new ionic project when running the command in windows 7
ionic start myproject

The solution is to set up the MAGIC environment variable in the computer settings, then it works.

http_proxy=http://username:password@hostname:port;

Error to download bower package in Visual studio 2015 RC when you are in corporate proxy

1. add a .bowerrc file in project,
{
"proxy": "http://192.168.11.22:8080",
"https-proxy":"http://192.168.11.22:8080"
}

2. Install Git seperately

3. go to command prompt and run the following cmd
git config --global http.proxy http://proxyuser:proxypwd@proxy.server.com:8080
git config --global https.proxy https://proxyuser:proxypwd@proxy.server.com:8080

Error to download npm package in Visual studio 2015 when you are in corporate proxy

This is the command to run to set up the proxy,

npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

But where to run this command, the npm.cmd is in,
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External

Open a command prompt as administrator and run the npm config ...
Then it worked.

Custom asp.net identity 2.1 tables and primary keys

This is the codes that I use to set up the identity tables to use int as primary key.

public class User : IdentityUser<int, UserLogin, UserRole, UserClaim>



{
  public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<User, int> manager)



{
  // Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType

var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);

// Add custom user claims here

return userIdentity;



}
  public string FirstName { get; set; }

public string LastName { get; set; }

public byte Level { get; set; }

public DateTime JoinDate { get; set; }




}
  public class UserRole : IdentityUserRole<int> { }

public class UserLogin : IdentityUserLogin<int> { }

public class UserClaim : IdentityUserClaim<int> { }

public class Role : IdentityRole<int, UserRole>



{
  public Role() { }

public Role(string name) { Name = name; }



}
  public class MyUserStore : UserStore<User, Role, int, UserLogin, UserRole, UserClaim>



{
  public MyUserStore(MyPortalContext context)

: base(context) { }



}
  public class MyRoleStore : RoleStore<Role, int, UserRole>



{
  public MyRoleStore(MyPortalContext context)

: base(context) { }



}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

And they are customized to use different table names in MyPortalContext

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)



{
  base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);

modelBuilder.Entity<User>().ToTable("Users");

modelBuilder.Entity<Role>().ToTable("Roles");

modelBuilder.Entity<UserLogin>().ToTable("UserLogins");

modelBuilder.Entity<UserClaim>().ToTable("UserClaims");

modelBuilder.Entity<UserRole>().ToTable("UserRoles");
}
