ASP.NET Core website not running in docker even though container appears to be running

This is my first docker try. I am using Windows 10, installed Docker Desktop and using Windows containers. I have created a simple hello world type asp.net core web application in VS Code and trying to run it in docker.

I wrote code in VS Code then published it in folder /bin/Publish. Then inside Publish folder I created Dockerfile as follows:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0.0-windowsservercore-ltsc2019  
COPY . /inetpub/wwwroot

After that image was downloaded which can be seen in below screenshot. First image naziacore is the one I am trying to run.

Then I ran docker using following command:

docker run -i -d -p 80:80 naziacore

But when I open browser and type http://localhost then website doesn't open. It shows that standard error like website is down or you don't have internet connection.

Running following command shows that container is running.

I can see that files have been copied to inetpub/wwwroot

I even tried a different port but no luck. How to diagnose and fix this issue?

Solution

  • Looks like you are missing some parts of your dockerfile. I'd recommend you check out this, but I think adding an entrypoint to the end is what you probably need:

    WORKDIR /inetpub/wwwroot
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "NaziaDocker.dll"]
