For years I used the same PowerShell script to spin up Business Central containers. It worked, but I always felt there should be an easier way.
So, I built BC Docker Manager. A VS Code extension to create and manage BC Docker containers. No scripts. No Docker Desktop. No BcContainerHelper.

Free, MIT licensed, and open source.

Microsoft announced BcContainerHelper is being retired. If you still rely on it, now is a good time to try something new.
