- Sub-folders with any other file that you want to include in the image, including:
- Installers:
- Setup_CONNECTIONClientx64_23.00.00.10.exe (or latest version if more recent), for installing Bentley CONNECTION Client for the licensing entitlement. This should be downloaded from connect.bentley.com with your account.
- Setup_CUBE_x64_06.05.01.00.exe (or latest version if more recent), for installing CUBE 6.5.1.
- PowerShell command files, in particular:
- set_env.ps1, to set-up the correct environment for CONNECTION Client.
- conn_client_logon_script.ps1, this contains the PowerShell script for undertaking the login to CONNECTION client, getting the credentials from the command line that will run this ps1 file.

- This can contain your CUBE model, in a .s file. For the example provided, the test.S script file for testing the CUBE run, inside a sub-folder called test-scripts.
- Installers:

The content of the Dockerfile is provided in the example below:
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows:10.0.17763.4499 as base SHELL ["powershell", "-command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"] # WORKDIR in the Docker image WORKDIR "C:/work_folder" # Copy installers in docker workdir for later installation COPY installers/Setup_CUBE_x64_06.05.01.00.exe cube_setup.exe COPY installers/Setup_CONNECTIONClientx64_23.00.00.10.exe connection_client_setup.exe # Copy ps fileg in docker COPY ps/set_env.ps1 set_env.ps1 COPY ps/conn_client_logon_script.ps1 conn_client_logon_script.ps1 # Silent installation for CUBE RUN Start-Process -FilePath 'C:/work_folder/cube_setup.exe' -ArgumentList '/VERYSILENT', '/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES', '/INSTALLGIS=NO', '/AUTHORIZEGIS=NO' -Wait # Silent installation for CONNECTION Client RUN Start-Process -FilePath 'C:/work_folder/connection_client_setup.exe' -ArgumentList '/s', 'NoStartPostInstall=1', 'InstallDesktopShortcut=0' -Wait # Start CC in production env RUN "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine" RUN .\set_env.ps1 # Copy a Voyager test script with the container workdir for later testing via command line in Docker container COPY test-scripts/test.S test.S
The two ps files are provided below as example:
communities.bentley.com/.../set_5F00_env.ps1
communities.bentley.com/.../conn_5F00_client_5F00_logon_5F00_script.ps1
4. Build the image running the following command:
docker build -f .\Dockerfile . -t cube651
5. Run the container with the following command:
docker run --rm -it cube651:latest
6. Once inside the container, login to the connection client with your Bentley account using the provided powershell script, by running:
powershell
.\conn_client_logon_script.ps1 -UserName 'xxx_xxx@company.com' -Password '####' -NoNewWindow -Wait
7. Test that CUBE 6.5.1 works, by running the test.S provided (or your own application)
runtpp.exe test.S
