Have you ever tried to take a look at the phone / tablet client by using your browser?
Let's start from scratch and set up your local environment. In this case, I set up a new Docker container without SSL:
- Install Docker (if necessary)
- Enable Hyper V in BIOS/Windows (if necessary)
- Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator
- Install
BCContainerHelper
:Install-Module BCContainerHelper
- Run the wizard and follow the steps:
New-BCContainerWizard
- After a while your container is ready 🎉
Open your browser and enter your local BC container address, for example:
http://bc18-ci/BC/tablet
Or go to a specific table or page:
http://bc18-ci/BC/tablet?page=5050
