to avoid having to use --tls everywhere, makes it a little less tedious. I have also found that not all tools are quite ready, or at least grumpy with TLS. I have had no luck using fig, for example.
Yep, aware. For the sake of consistency with the "how to run docker on azure" tutorial we linked from this tutorial, we sustained the --tls parameter. I'm not big fan of TLS at all :) For me even basic auth does the job: https://ahmetalpbalkan.com/blog/docker-http-basic-auth/ :)
Have you managed to get any other ASP.NET vNext samples to work besides David Fowler's Hello World sample? I have tried to get MusicStoreMVC to work but I keep getting "Out of memory" errors on Mono+Linux.
Yup, honestly other samples besides David's HelloWorldVnext require a fix to the image (related to libuv), which means they're not working at all right now with Kestrel. But community was fast enough to send the fix:
Have you thought about a Vagrant + Docker tutorial next? I got a few different Docker images running vNext on my Mac; it's great, but not really a development-first solution.
