Build Visual Studio C++ project in docker

Question

Is it possible to build MSVCPP 2015 project inside docker? I found, that docker started to support windows containers, here is repo: https://hub.docker.com/u/microsoft/ . But it is focused on .NET applications and servers, but I want to build desktop exe application. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. There is a document here that I have used as a starting point: Install Build Tools into a Container.
