How to run a FoundationDB cluster and connect to it from .NET — getting the IFdbDatabaseProvider that the keys/transactions/layers skills assume you already have. Covers the ways to get a provider (plain DI services.AddFoundationDb, FdbDatabaseProvider.Create, or Aspire), the Aspire AppHost integration (FoundationDB.Aspire.Hosting — builder.AddFoundationDb starts a Docker cluster, AddFoundationDbCluster connects to an existing one), the Aspire client integration…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# FoundationDB — Running a cluster & connecting from .NET (Aspire, the native client)
The **`foundationdb-keys-and-layers`**, **`foundationdb-transactions`**, and **`foundationdb-advanced-layers`** skills all start from an `IFdbDatabase` / `IFdbDatabaseProvider` you already have. This skill is about getting there: standing up a cluster, loading the native client correctly, and connecting — including the .NET Aspire integration shipped in this repo (`FoundationDB.Aspire.Hosting` + `FoundationDB.Aspire`).
---
## 1. Getting an `IFdbDatabaseProvider`
Application code resolves an **`IFdbDatabaseProvider`** (then `await provider.GetDatabase(ct)` or, more commonly, the retry-loop methods). Three ways to create one:
| Way | API | When |
|---|---|---|
| **Plain DI** | `services.AddFoundationDb(apiVersion, opt => …)` → `IFdbDatabaseProviderBuilder` (registers `IFdbDatabaseProvider`) | a regular host, you supply the cluster file via config |
| **No DI** | `FdbDatabaseProvider.Create(new FdbDatabaseProviderOptions { ApiVersion = 730, … })` | tools/tests/standalone; call `provider.Start()` |
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add snowbanksdk/foundationdb-dotnet-client/foundationdb-aspire@sha256:87fd37bdf61a463aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.d94e830, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
