.NET Dockerized App

Building a Dockerized App

.NET Dockerized app uses Dockerfile for deployment.

Introduction to Dockerizing .NET Applications

Dockerizing a .NET application involves packaging your app and all its dependencies into a container. This ensures that it runs seamlessly on any system with Docker installed. In this guide, we will explore the steps to create a Dockerfile for a .NET application and demonstrate how to build and run the Docker container.

Setting Up Your .NET Application

Before creating a Dockerfile, ensure that your .NET application is ready for deployment. If you don't have an existing .NET app, you can create a new one using the following command:

Creating a Dockerfile for Your .NET Application

A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands to assemble an image. Below is a basic Dockerfile example for a .NET application:

Building the Docker Image

With the Dockerfile in place, you can build the Docker image using the Docker CLI. Run the following command in the root directory of your .NET application:

Running the Docker Container

After building the Docker image, you can run your .NET application in a container. Use the following command to start the container:

Conclusion and Next Steps

By following these steps, you've successfully dockerized your .NET application. This enables consistent and efficient deployment across different environments. In the next post, we will explore how to perform queries using Entity Framework within your Dockerized app.
