A standalone resource server for Aspire dashboard

Based on this thread.

Related GitHub discussion in main dotnet/aspire repo.

Todo

• Standalone resource server
• Collecting external containers' logs
• Handling commands to external containers

Test environment (manual)

To test the resource server, there's a sample docker compose file in the compose directory. Either start the compose file manually by

docker compose -f compose/compose.yaml up -d

Or use the facilitator scripts (start-compose.ps1, start-compose.sh).

This compose file includes:

• An Aspire dashboard container
• A RabbitMQ container (as a sample of any message bus)
• A Redis container (as a sample of any key-value store)
• A MongoDB container (as a sample of any NoSQL database)

To cover most of the external workloads that teams who do not or cannot use the Aspire application model due to different stack or any other reason usually use.
