Docker and ASP.NET Core Handbook

Dockerize your ASP.NET Core Microservices

I remember back in the day when the phrase ‘it worked on my environment’ was a common part of my vocabulary. Ah, the good old times of troubleshooting environment inconsistencies.

Then Docker came into the scene and suddenly, everything became so much simpler. Docker and ASP.NET Core together, they streamlined the whole process, making the journey from code to deployment easy.

Ready to see how these tools can ease your development too? Lets dive in!

Getting the Hang of Docker

Docker ensures your application runs the same, whether on your laptop or a server halfway across the globe. By bundling up your software, libraries, and dependencies into a container, Docker makes sure everything stays together, no matter where it’s running.

Your First Docker Commands

Docker comes with some straightforward commands to get you rolling. Here are some basics:

• docker run image_name: This command runs your application.
• docker ps: This one shows you what containers are currently running.
• docker stop container_id: This command stops the specified container.
