DodaTech Updated 2026-06-28 1 min read

In this tutorial, you'll learn about ASPNET Deployment Docker. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.

Containerizing ASP.NET Core applications with Docker provides consistent deployment across environments and simplifies scaling.

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["ScanApi/ScanApi.csproj", "ScanApi/"]
RUN dotnet restore "ScanApi/ScanApi.csproj"
COPY . .
RUN dotnet publish "ScanApi/ScanApi.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS runtime
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/publish .
EXPOSE 8080
ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8080
ENV ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --retries=3 \
    CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/health || exit 1
USER app
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "ScanApi.dll"]
# docker-compose.yml
services:
  api:
    build: .
    ports: ["8080:8080"]
    environment:
      - ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection=${DB_CONNECTION}
    depends_on:
      redis:
        condition: service_healthy

Multi-stage Docker builds produce minimal production images by separating build and runtime dependencies.
