Containerizing a WebMap .Net Application with Docker
By encapsulating your .NET Framework application within a Docker container, you gain advantages such as isolation, reproducibility, and scalability. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of creating a Docker image for your application, allowing it to run seamlessly on any system equipped with Docker.
Prerequisites
Install Docker: Ensure that Docker is installed on your machine. You can download Docker from the official website: Docker Engine.
Steps
Dockerfile: Put the dockerfile in the root of the output or binaries folder.
Build the docker image: Open a command prompt or terminal in the directory where your
Dockerfile
is located, and run the following command to build the Docker image:
Replace "your-image-name"
with a meaningful name for your Docker image.
Run the docker container: Once the image is built, you can run the container from it:
Test the containerized application: Visit
http://localhost:<EXTERNAL_PORT>
in your web browser to test your WebMap .NET Framework application running inside the Docker container. In case the localhost doesn't shows nothing, we have to find the ip container. Just execute the following command:
Create a container with a .yaml file
Another way around to skip those commands and just execute one script is using a .yaml file.
Prerequisites
Install docker-compose
Steps
Create a .yaml file
Execute the following command
Finally, you already created a WebMap application container without executing a lot of commands.
