Run my .NET app on your cloud computer — backend passed, full stack failed

Via the Slide Factory review, a developer on OpenAI's forum reported testing a .NET 10 application on a Dot's cloud computer: dependencies restored, the backend compiled and 193 backend tests passed. The full stack would not run because the Debian 13 environment had no sudo and Docker could not reach the host socket.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Restore dependencies in the cloud environment
  2. Compile the backend
  3. Run and pass 193 backend tests
  4. Attempt the full stack
  5. Fail on Docker host-socket access and missing privileges

Why it’s worth knowing

193 tests passed on an AI's own computer — then a Docker socket stopped the whole stack.
