Running in docker

[PeterKottas]

Hi @shawnmclean thanks for giving this lib a go :) I must admit I didn't try it on docker so far although it's a high priority for the future. I should be able to look into this during the weekend. Windows services are quite difficult concept and I know historically it didn't work with docker too much. But now with windows containers ... things might have changed. I'll let you know when I find out more and in the meantime, any effort to solve this yourself would be much appreciated.

As long as there are calls to any windows service API, a PlatformNotSupportedException is expected on linux-based docker images. You could try the microsoft/dotnet:1.1-runtime-nanoserver images.
However, if you build a docker image from .net core apps, you should be fine with just a console app that is set as the container's entry point (or an image's entry point if you publish it).

Thanks mate certainly helpful. Especially the last part. I think that's enough for closing this as there doesn't seem to be a point of having this if you can run console app directly.
