How to remove docker support from an ASP.NET Core project?

I've installed Visual Studio 2017 Community RC with .NET Core and Docker (Preview) so I could try the "Add docker support" on my project.

Unfortunatelly I couldn't get things work together (win8.1 + docker toolbox + hyperv engine + docker tools seems like not works together well) so I decided to remove docker support from my project.

There was no any menu item to remove docker support so I just deleted all docker related files from the solution.

Currently I get an error when I try to build/rebuild/clean/...:

Error MSB4018 The "CleanWorkspace" task failed unexpectedly. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file 'D:\dev\AspNetCore\docker-compose.yml' was not found.

Error MSB4018 The "PrepareForCompile" task failed unexpectedly. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file 'D:\dev\AspNetCore\docker-compose.yml' was not found.

I tried to delete bin, obj, .vs folders without luck.

If you look in your project folder you should see a user settings file called <projectname>.csproj.user.

Within this file it may look like the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ActiveDebugProfile>Docker</ActiveDebugProfile>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Just change

<ActiveDebugProfile>Docker</ActiveDebugProfile>

to

<ActiveDebugProfile>Debug</ActiveDebugProfile>

You may be able to just delete this file as it is user settings and there may be nothing else relevant in the file, please check.

Please backup before any changes.

Go to your project dependencies and check if you have any container package added. If you do, remove the container package and rebuild.

I ran into same situation and wanted to remove Docker support for my project Visual Studio 2017 and .NET Framework 4.6.1 project (not asp.Net Core) but i believe this will work for Asp .Net Core projects too :

  • In the project explorer, look for a project named "docker-compose"

  • Right click and select option "Unload project". As soon as this
    project is unloaded you will see the IIS/browser options for running your project

If you ever wanted to re-enable docker support, please select the project "docker-compose" and click "Reload Project" this will remove all IIS/browser options and set Docker
