In this article we are going to focus on how to connect our application to the Cosmos DB Emulator from Docker. This article is continuation of the Part 1 of this series. I suggest to read it first before continue, because this part is based on previous one. Add Docker support to our application Before we continue we need to add Docker support to our application we created in Part 1 of this article.

Recently I’ve tried to use official Cosmos DB Emulator on docker , but quickly encountered some issues that I’ll try to address in this article. Following documentation I’ve managed to run emulator on Docker with no problem, but issues start appearing when I’ve tied to connect my application to it. Basically, I’ve had application that also running on Docker, but unfortunately documentation does not cover this scenario. So, to figure our how to make it work I’ve decided to run my application without Docker, just to make sure that everything is working, but again there were some small issues.

Recently when I decided to start my own blog, one of the first questions I had where and how I’m going to host it. Long story short I’ve decided to use Azure Statics Web App , because Azure provides a free account. So, if it is free why not 😄. Prerequisites Because you are reading this post I can assume you already have Hugo site that you want to host, if not just follow this installation guide to create one.
