Azurite emulator for Local Azure Storage Development

Introduction

Docker provides a wide range of Images that help to run the required applications or services in localhost without installing.

• Docker Image: mcr.microsoft.com/azure-storage/azurite.
• YAML: YAML stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language, but it originally stood for Yet Another Markup Language.
• Volume: Volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting data generated by and used by Docker containers.

services:
  azure-storage-emulator:
    image: mcr.microsoft.com/azure-storage/azurite
    container_name: azure-blob-storage
    ports:
      - "10000:10000" # Blob service
      - "10001:10001" # Queue service
      - "10002:10002" # Table service
    volumes:
      - azure-storage-volume:/opt/azurite/folder
    environment:
      - "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development"
      - "AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=<<storage_ccount_name>>"
      - "AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=<<storage_key>>"
      - "AZURE_STORAGE_BLOB_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:10000/storage_ccount_name"


volumes:
  azure-storage-volume:
    driver: local
