Docker run command like in Visual Studio-CodePudding

When running a Standard ASP.NET Core Web API project created by Visual Studio 2022 with docker option enabled, connecting to the server via browser is possible by using https://localhost:65215/swagger/index.html (which even pops up by itself).

When running the container with specifying the mapping of port 80 and 443 (such as 65214 and 65215), reaching Swagger is not possible on the specified ports. So there must clearly be more to it.

How can one run the docker container from the console, using a docker run command? And how can the port be set or at least identified?

Dockerfile

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["WebApiContainerized/WebApiContainerized.csproj", "WebApiContainerized/"]
RUN dotnet restore "WebApiContainerized/WebApiContainerized.csproj"
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/WebApiContainerized"
RUN dotnet build "WebApiContainerized.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "WebApiContainerized.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "WebApiContainerized.dll"]

Program.cs

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.

builder.Services.AddControllers(); // Learn more about configuring Swagger/OpenAPI at https://aka.ms/aspnetcore/swashbuckle builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer(); builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();

var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline. if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment()) {
    app.UseSwagger();
    app.UseSwaggerUI(); }

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapControllers();

app.Run();

Project creation

CodePudding user response：

By default, Swagger is only available when you run your app in the 'development' environment.

By default, a containerized app runs in production.

To change it, you set the ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT variable to 'Development'. You can either do that on the docker run or you can set it in the Dockerfile.

As for the ports, Microsoft set ASPNETCORE_URLS to http:// :80 in the aspnet images, causing the app to listen on port 80.

Add a line to set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT to your Dockerfile like this

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
ENV ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT Development
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["WebApiContainerized/WebApiContainerized.csproj", "WebApiContainerized/"]
RUN dotnet restore "WebApiContainerized/WebApiContainerized.csproj"
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/WebApiContainerized"
RUN dotnet build "WebApiContainerized.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "WebApiContainerized.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "WebApiContainerized.dll"]

Build and run with

docker build -t myimage .
docker run -d -p 65214:80 myimage

You should now be able to reach the Swagger page at http://localhost:65214/swagger
