A new file `Dockerfile` are created in your project.

## The nuget configuration

If you use specific repositories, you must use a `nuget.config` file.

Don't forget to add your `nuget.config` to your build image, just after `WORKDIR /src` add `COPY ["nuget.config", "."]`

:::caution

If you don't add the file, restore nuget does not work, by default restore search on nuget.org
