Azure Build Agent for Docker (Linux)

Azure DevOps Pipelines build agent, for Linux. This is a preconfigured Docker image allowing to run basic builds on Linux (Ubuntu) for the following common build scenarios:

• .NET 6
• Javascript (Node)

The Dockerfile is originally based on instructions provided in Run a self-hosted agent in Docker.

Additions and changes:

• Use Ubuntu 22 instead of Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 22 has libssl issues)
• Add Powershell support (Not available on ARM64 as .deb package)
• Enable support for ArchiveFiles and ExtractFiles

Usage instructions
