How to a run deployed app in Docker for Windows

Question

I was trying to deploy ASP.NET application using Docker for Windows. I have covered everything , but how am I supposed to open my application?

Answer 1

To deploy an ASP.NET web application to a Docker container, follow the below steps:

Publish Preset

1. Create a publish preset using the File System publish method which will result in a .pubxml file.

2. Pull the official ASP.NET image from Microsoft which is,

docker pull microsoft/aspnet

3. Make sure your dockerfile is created,

FROM microsoft/aspnet

COPY ./DockerDeploy/ /inetpub/wwwroot/

4. Now build the docker image using the following command. You can custom the container name as you wish,

docker build -t mywebapplication .

5. Run the container you created,

docker run -p 80:80 mywebapplication

This should definitely work.
