Hi,

does PowerServer 2020 PB Edition work in a Docker Container in Azure Cloud?
Does anyone have practical experience with this?

Regards,
Marco Diers

Hi Marco, PowerServer 2020 and older versions is traditional Web architecture that is not compatible with containerization technology, such as Docker.  In the 2021 version we revamped PowerServer's architecture to be cloud-native and also switched to the cross-OS .NET Core framework that supports both Windows and Linux.  So please upgrade to PowerServer 2021 or newer.

Hi Armeen,

we're already using PowerServer 2021 also, but for other requirements. Especially for this requirement we have to use PowerServer 2020. In the Installation Guide there is a setting "WorkWithAzure"in the SilentInstall.ini. So it seems that this scenario should work. Or what does this setting exaclty do?
https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/installation_guide_for_powerserver_pb_edition/ch08s02s01.html
Or does it mean to work in a Windows Azure environment without a docker container?
If so, which Azure environment does it exaclty mean?
The document only says "Sets whether to work with the Windows Azure environment."

If I were using a Windows Server Docker Image with IIS I don't see any reason at the moment why it shouldn't work. 
But before installing and testing it by my own, which is also expensive, I'm asking here, because it's easier and faster. And maybe someone has had experience with it.

Is it really technically not possible to get this working?

Regards,
Marco Diers

The Azure setting is to run on traditional VM in Azure. As I said, Docker not supported in the old versions. Try and see for yourself.

You're very welcome, and glad to see you are trying to take advantage of new features we added like Docker. :-)
