Everyone in Microsoft Dynamics NAV world are so much exited for the recent release of Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Main basic need to setup MSDyn365BC is to have an active Azure subscription, unlike old way of hosting Dynamics NAV on Azure, we are not at all require to setup the Virtual Machine in case of MSDyn365BC. We can set it up in Azure without need for the VM and also use it locally.
Here are Three quick and simple steps for setting up Dynamics 365 Business Central (#MSDyn365BC):
Step 1: Create Resource Group in Azure, with appropriate name. This resource group is generally required to be created in order to hold the containers. I have created new resource with name “D365BC”.
Step 2: Next, click on the resource group and then open the Azure Cloud Shell in PowerShell mode.
And use the Create Container operation to create new container in order to download and store the MSDyn365BC desired image file. Use below command in PowerShell:
Parameters:
–name: it should be the container name, it must be in all lowercase. (a-z 0-9).
–image: complete image name. “microsoft/dynamics-nav:12.0.21229.0”
–resource-group: It should be name of the resource group created in step 1.
–os-type: Windows
parameters like –cpu, –memory you can consider as per your need.
Also, parameters like –environment-variables, –ip-address are compulsory.
Step 3: After running above command, you will be able to see new container instance:
Note down necessary information like “Web client”, “UserName”, “Password”, “Public IP” from the new container instance log.
At this step you are all good to access the D365 BC. Use web client link in your browser with given credentials.
But make sure to related the publicDnsName with your Azure connection “Public IP”. Then try to connect he D365 BC. So, your Url should look like “http://<publicip>/nav/”
