How do I enable docker for a .net application with dotnet cli/powershell?

dotnet sln add blazortest\blazortest.csproj

How do I enable docker/Add docker support (Add dockerfile etc)? I dont want to do it manually.
I know the need for the dockerfile was removed in .net 7, but still.....

Select Docker Support from the Project menu.
