Visual Studio 2017 & Docker

Question

Is there a way to use docker installed on a different machine/server with Visual Studio 2017 during development?

E.g Docker installed on Mac or Linux while Visual Studio on Windows?

Thanks

Your question isn't very specific, however you can definitely install docker on windows, and there is support for development with Docker and Visual Studio 2017.

Visual Studio 2017 supports building, debugging, and running containerized ASP.NET Core apps targeting .NET Core. Both Windows and Linux containers are supported.
