Purview.Containers

The umbrella package: one reference that brings the abstractions and both backends, so the same tests run on WSL Containers (WSLC) on a Windows machine and on Docker everywhere else — no backend choice in your code or environment.

dotnet add package Purview.Containers

It depends on:

Quick start

A service module plus this package is all you need:

dotnet add package Purview.Containers.Redis
dotnet add package Purview.Containers

using Purview.Containers.Redis;
using StackExchange.Redis;

await using var redis = new RedisBuilder().Build();
await redis.StartAsync();                                   // waits for redis-cli ping

await using var cache = await ConnectionMultiplexer.ConnectAsync(redis.GetConnectionString());
await cache.GetDatabase().PingAsync();

There is no registration line and no PURVIEW_CONTAINERS_BACKEND: each backend package ships buildTransitive assets that register themselves in your assembly, and automatic selection picks the first usable backend (WSLC is preferred where it works, Docker otherwise). Use a net10.0 (or later) project — see Using it in your tests.

When to use this versus a single backend

You want Reference
WSLC locally and Docker in CI, one project, zero config Purview.Containers (this package)
Docker only (e.g. a Linux-only CI job) — avoids the ~19 MB WSLC payload Purview.Containers.Core + Purview.Containers.Docker
WSLC only Purview.Containers.Core + Purview.Containers.Wsl

Adding a future backend (for example Podman) means adding its package to this bundle; your project does not change.

Requirements

  • .NET 10 or later. The abstractions and service modules are portable; the WSL Containers backend is multi-target and stays dormant on non-Windows hosts. See the consumer requirements.
  • Either a Windows 10/11 host with WSL Containers (wsl --install --no-distribution) or a reachable Docker daemon.

Documentation

Experimental. The public API, defaults and packaging rules can change between prereleases; there is no production support guarantee.
