Answer 1

Maybe you can try this:

services.AddDbContext(options =>
    options.UseSqlServer("DefaultConnection")
);

Then set your appsettings.json do something like this:

"ConnectionStrings:": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=HOME1_DATABASE;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
},

After that, when a I add migration via the console, it succeeds.
