This is intended to demonstrate issues with MAUI and not
for active development as changes in the container would get lost on a docker build.
Note: You need to have Docker installed and set up on your system to use this.
After git-cloning and cd into the repo, build the image:
docker build -t maui-env .
This will build MAUI along with GtkSharp already. Then visit the container using:
docker run -i --rm -t maui-env bash
Visual Studio Code is encouraged: Install VS Codes 'Dev Containers' extension, then right click the maui-env container and attach it to VS Code. To launch a sample app, start go to Open Folder in VS Code, choose /mauienv/maui-linux, let Code install recommended extensions, and enter these commands in VS Codes terminal window:
cd /mauienv/maui-linux/src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample
dotnet run --framework net8.0-gtk
VS Code will then do some magic and start the gtk app on the container's host, without the need to explicitely install a .NET runtime there.
