[Idea] https/ssl local containers

[Tushan17]

Idea Description

would be great to be able to create containers with localDevEnv script using https. same as old script
example:
$containername = 'bcsandbox15'
$artifactUrl = Get-BCArtifactUrl -version 15 -country us -select Latest # D365 BC 2019 Release Wave 2 (V15), Latest update, US
$licenseFilePath = 'C:\License Path\license.flf'
$credential = New-Object pscredential 'admin', (ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'P@ssword1' -AsPlainText -Force)

New-BcContainer -accept_eula
-containerName $containername -artifactUrl $artifactUrl
-Credential $credential **-useSSL**
-updateHosts -auth NavUserPassword
-Verbose `
-licenseFile $licenseFilePath

useful for VM/devices where http is blocked

I would love to see this supported in AL-Go. Unfortunately it's not, but we solved it ourselves with a small workaround.

You can do this by overriding the NewBcContainer call via the AL-Go pipeline script override mechanism.

Docs here:
AL-Go for GitHub – Run ALPipeline script override

Just override .AL-Go/NewBcContainer.ps1 and adjust the parameters there.

Example

Param(
    [Hashtable]$parameters
)

if ("$env:GITHUB_RUN_ID" -eq "") {
    $parameters.useSSL = $true
    $parameters.installCertificateOnHost = $true
}

New-BcContainer @parameters
