From YouTube: Run CLI for Microsoft 365 in Docker container
Description
In this 12-minute Developer-focused demo, the presenter Garry Trinder – a PnP CLI maintainer, talks about how a Docker image is built, uploaded, and stored in Docker Hub. Developers pull down the latest image using PowerShell. Run CLI for Microsoft 365, PowerShell, and other tools inside the container to execute every step of a job inside the container. As such, you need not install any of the required dependencies on your host machine. This PnP Community demo is taken from the General Microsoft 365 Development Special Interest Group (SIG) - Bi-weekly sync call recorded on February 18, 2021.

A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I
guess
this
session
is
what
I'm
gonna
show.
You
is
how
you
can
run
the
cli
for
microsoft,
365
in
in
docker.
So
a
little
bit
about
me.
My
name
is
gary
trinder,
I'm
a
solutions
architect
in
the
uk.
I
work
for
a
gold
partner
called
cps,
I'm
also
part
of
the
pmp
team
and
one
of
the
maintainers
of
the
cli
for
microsoft.
365.
A
just
find
my
github
profile
and
you'll
be
able
to
find
where
I
am
on
the
internet,
so
cli
for
microsoft
365.,
so
you
may
have
heard
of
it.
Don't
really
maybe
know
what
it
is,
but
essentially
it's
a
cross-platform
tool
that
allows
you
to
manage
all
different
services
in
microsoft.
365
you
can
run
on.
Basically,
any
shell
is
is
what
we're
achieving
here
completely
across
the
board.
If
you
want
to
use
bash,
if
you
want
to
use
powershell,
you
can
use
the
the
cli
so
just
to
kind
of
start
of
well.
A
How
is
this
all
come
about?
Why
are
we
even
talking
about
this
thing
called
docker
and
cli
for
microsoft,
365.?
Well,
as
part
of
the,
I
guess,
the
project
we
like
to
get
feedback
from
people
and
we
did
get
some
feedback,
which
was
great,
so
we
have
github
discussions
and
we
had
some
feedback
to
say.
Wouldn't
it
be
great,
if
actually,
you
could
bundle
the
cli
using
docker
and
so
that,
basically,
it
makes
it
easy
for
people
to
to
be
able
to
download
use
it,
and
it
was
an
interesting,
interesting
concept.
A
We'd
not
considered
it.
So
we
had
a
really
good
discussion
in
the
github
discussions
and
we
kind
of
agreed
okay
yeah
we'll
do
it.
It
sounds
pretty
good,
so
we
decided
we're
going
to
build
this
out
in
the
open,
completely
shipped
it.
So
you
know
there.
We
are
from
the
time
that
we
actually
agreed
from
the
suggestion
by
alexander
who
put
that
forward.
A
We
raised
the
issue
and
then
we
actually
released
it
in
a
few
months,
and
I
thought
that
was
pretty
good
for
us
to
turn
that
around,
because
it
was
something
that
was
pretty
new.
So
what
what
is
docker?
Why
have
we
even
done
this
so
docker
allows
us
to
effectively
build
and
package
the
cli
with
all
of
its
dependencies?
A
Everything
that
it
needs
to
run,
give
a
a
mechanism
to
ship
that
out
to
people
and
then
allow
you
to
run
that
on
your
machine
on
your
servers
on
your
your
local
machine
or
even
in
kind
of
like
devops
agents
in
azure
devops,
so
docker
helps
you
build
ship,
your
application
out
and
then
just
run
it
so
that
you
as
an
end
user
consumer
of
that
application.
You'd
have
to
worry
about
installing
ev
anything,
because
we
ship
everything
that
you
need
so
that
first
part
the
the
build
part
is,
is
a
docker
image.
A
So
this
is
a
docker
file.
This
represents
our
image,
which
is
our
bundle
which
basically
allows
us
to
define
an
operating
system.
It
allows
us
to
find
some
some
environment
variables,
create
users
in
there
and
actually
run
some
kind
of
like
post
installation
scripts
as
well.
So
one
of
the
things
with
the
cli,
because
we
can
run
everywhere,
we
can
run
bash
and
we
can
renew
powershell.
A
We
have
to
handle
the
the
peculiarities,
if
you
like
the
setup
of
working
in
those
different
shells,
so
this
allows
us
to
do
that
for
you,
whereas
previously
you'd
have
to
kind
of
install
and
then
go
through
and
configure
things
yourself.
So
what
is
in
our
image?
Well,
we've
got
linux
in
there,
so
we're
using
alpine
linux,
which
is,
if
you
kind
of
come
across
ubuntu,
think
of
ubuntu,
but
very,
very,
very
small.
It
basically
just
gives
us
everything
that
we
need
from
the
linux
side
to
run
the
cli.
A
We
bundle
node.js
in
there
with
the
the
cli,
so
you
don't
need
node
install
on
your
machine.
You
don't
need
to
worry
about.
Am
I
running
the
right
version
of
node
because
we've
provided
it
for
you
and
along
side
node
you
get
npm
with
that.
We've
also
bundled
powershell
in
the
image,
so
you
can
use
powershell
and
powershell
7..
So,
if
you're
on
a
machine,
that's
running
powershell
5
and
you
don't
want
to
install
powershell
7,
we
can
provide
that
that,
for
you,
we've
got
bash
in
there
as
well.
A
That
comes
with
with
linux
and
what
we
also
do
is
we
actually
configure
the
auto
completion
for
you
as
well,
so
with
clies.
If
you
have
used
the
azure
cli
doing
the
kind
of
the
setting
of
autocomplete
is
kind
of
like
a
post
step
that
you've
got
to
do.
It
can
be
a
bit
tricky,
depending
on
which
shell
you're
using
so
again,
we've
provided
that
in
in
the
image.
A
So
how
we're
going
to
ship
this
to
you?
Well,
we
take
our
images
and
we
push
them
up
to
docker
hub.
So,
if
you're
using
npm,
it's
like
a
package
manager
but
for
docker
images,
we
publish
a
new
version
every
time
we
release
so
every
time.
There's
a
new
beta
version
of
the
cli
every
time,
there's
a
new
monthly
release,
a
new
version
of
our
image
is
available
for
you
to
use
and
the
other
side
of
it
the
docker
engine.
A
This
is
something
that
you'd
install
on
your
machine,
and
this
would
allow
you
to
then
actually
pull
down
those
images
and
execute
them
on
on
your
machine,
so
you're
pulling
down
all
the
dependencies.
It
creates
an
isolated
environment
on
your
machine.
So
again,
if
you've
got
other
versions
of
node
installed
already,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
them
conflicting
and
changing
different
versions
to
be
able
to
use
it.
You'll
use
the
version
that
we
supply
you
with,
which
is
great
for
us,
because
that
means
that
we
can
target
a
specific
version.
A
Using
this
we
don't
and
then
you
don't
have
to
worry
about.
Have
I
got
the
right
version?
Do
I
need
to
update
all
those
kind
of
things
so
to
get
started?
There's
there
is
a
dependency
still,
you
need
to
install
docker.
So
if
you
go
to
the
the
docker
website,
there's
loads
of
instructions
in
there,
it's
really
easy
to
get
set
up
on
windows.
A
That's
all
you
need
to
do
just
install
the
docker
desktop
and
that
installs
the
the
engine
for
you
so
once
you've
done
that
you're,
basically
ready
to
to
pull
down
this
image
and
start
using
the
cli,
so
I'm
gonna
jump
into
the
demo,
so
I've
got
docker
running
on
my
machine,
so
this
is
kind
of
like
the
docker
desktop
and
so
a
container
is
basically
a
running
instance
of
an
image.
I've
not
got
anything
running
at
the
moment.
I
don't
have
any
images
download
it's
completely
empty.
A
If
I
go
into
powershell,
I
can
start
to
run
commands
use
the
docker
cli
to
basically,
you
know,
instruct
docker
to
to
basically
install
things.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I
am
going
to
use
this
command
so
docker
run
and
these
switches
I'll
go
through
what
they
mean
in
a
second,
but
I
can
give
the
name
of
the
image
and
also
the
version
that
I
want
to
run
so
all
of
the
different
versions
there
they're
appended
at
the
end
as
tags
after
the
colon.
A
A
So
what
this
is
doing
now
this
is
going
to
docker
hub,
it's
picking
out
the
image
and
it's
downloading
it
and
it
downloads
it
in
layers.
So
a
docker
image
is
layered
as
an
operating
system,
a
user
account,
basically
all
the
steps
that
are
in
that
docker
file
before
so.
It
allows
us
to
separate
things
out
and
it
allows
us
to.
You
know
if
there's
a
new
image
that
you
want
to
download
say
that
the
the
next
version
it
will
just
swap
out
the
image,
that's
changed,
so
you
don't
have
to
download
everything
again.
A
A
If
I
run
mcm365,
you
can
see
that
we
have
the
cli
that
is
actually
running
in
there,
so
we
know
that
we
have
node
installed
and
we
have
npm
installed
as
well.
Now
what
we
can
do
is
we
can
also
switch
to
powershell
really
quite
easily
so
now,
we've
just
jumped
across
and
we've
kind
of
been
in
a
shell
inside
a
shell.
A
So
if
now
I
want
to
write
some
powershell
commands,
I
can
as
well,
which
is
really
nice
easy
way
of
being
able
to
just
interact
with
with
with
the
cli
I'm
just
going
to
exit
out
of
this.
So
when
I
exit
out
of
this
container,
there
is
I'll
come
back
to
this
in
a
second
I'll,
explain
it.
If
I
exit
out
of
this,
it's
gonna
exit
out
of
powershell,
I'm
gonna
exit
out
bash.
It
stops
the
container
completely
from
from
running,
and
that
is
the
rm
switch
at
the
beginning.
A
It
basically
says
when
you've
stopped
the
the
session,
just
close
it
down.
So
that
means
that
basically
anything
that
was
done
inside
that
that
container
is
just
gone,
that
that
instance
has
now
disappeared.
It's
freed
up
the
resources
on
your
machine
now.
If
I
didn't
want
to
go
into
bash
and
just
go
into
powershell,
I
can
add
the
the
shell
at
the
end
of
what
I
want
to
launch
into.
So
I've
already
got
this
image
installed.
I
want
to
go
straight
to
powershell.
A
It's
going
to
go
straight
in,
doesn't
have
to
download
it
again.
It's
already
there.
It's
given
me
my
new
container
and
I
can
start
to
use
the
the
cli,
so
I've
got
m365
here.
There's
the
commands
and
one
of
the
things
which
I
mentioned
is
you've
now
got
autocomplete,
so
I
can
then
tab
and
I
can
see
all
the
different
options,
which
is
something
which,
from
a
cli
point
of
view,
we
we
do
miss.
A
A
If
you
want
more
information,
this
is
all
documented
on
the
cli
docs
we're
going
to
lots
more
detail
about
how
you
can
pass
in
environment
variables
and
how
can
how
you
can
run
scripts
that
are
on
your
host
machine
and
because
the
docker
container
is
completely
isolated.
It
can't
talk
to
your
host
machine.
A
What
I
would
suggest
is
there's
a
great
article
by
janet
reitman's,
who
was
very
kind
to
help
us
out
with
delivering
these
docker
images,
and
he
was
able
to
test
these
images
in
azure
devops.
There
were
a
few
things
that
we
needed
to
configure
to
get
it
to
work
in.
There
definitely
check
that
out
if
you're
interested
in
using
that
in
in
your
devops
pipelines
and,
like
I
said
right
at
the
very
beginning,
this
all
came
about
because
of
feedback.
A
So
we
would
absolutely
love
your
feedback,
whether
it's
on
this,
whether
it's
an
idea
you've
got
please
come
to
the
discussions
on
the
repo
create
a
new
discussion.
Let's
have
a
chat
and
let's
see
where
we,
where
we
can
go
with
it,
and
thank
you
very
much
excellent,
excellent
stuff.
Thank
you
gary
on
that
one
really
really
cool
stuff.
I
love
the
shell
in
the
shell
reference
as
well.
