⁠Supported tags

The tagging strategy for the businesscentral repository is:

• osversion[-genericversion]

Where

• osversion is the Windows Version number you want to use (e.g. 10.0.19042.630)
• genericversion specify a generic image version number if you want to get anything but the latest public version. If you specify dev you will get the insider build of the generic image.

Examples

• docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/businesscentral:10.0.19042.630 gives you the Business Central generic image based on Windows Servercore 10.0.19042.630
• docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/businesscentral:10.0.19042.630-1.0.0.0 gives you the Business Central generic image version 1.0.0.0 based on Windows Servercore 10.0.19042.630
• docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/businesscentral:10.0.19042.630-dev gives you the insider Business Central generic image based on Windows Servercore 10.0.19042.630
