This is a minimalist, non-layered startup solution with the ABP Framework. All the fundamental ABP modules are already installed.
In the production environment, you need to use a production signing certificate. ABP Framework sets up signing and encryption certificates in your application and expects an openiddict.pfx file in your application.
This certificate is already generated when you created the solution, so most of the time you don't need to generate it yourself. However, if you need to generate a certificate, you can use the following command:
dotnet dev-certs https -v -ep openiddict.pfx -p iUqxVNJsYgmcOSD2
iUqxVNJsYgmcOSD2is the password of the certificate, you can change it to any password you want.
It is recommended to use two RSA certificates, distinct from the certificate(s) used for HTTPS: one for encryption, one for signing.

Also, see the Configuring OpenIddict documentation for more information.
Run the following command in the directory of your final application. This step is automatically done when you create a new solution, if you didn't especially disabled it. However, you should run it yourself if you have first cloned this solution from your source control, or added a new client-side package dependency to your solution.
abp install-libsThis command installs all NPM packages for MVC/Razor Pages and Blazor Server UIs and this command is already run by the ABP CLI, so most of the time you don't need to run this command manually.
The application needs a database. Run the following command in the WavePlatform directory to migrate the database and seed the initial data. This step is automatically done when you create a new solution, if you didn't especially disabled it.
dotnet run --migrate-databaseThis command will create and seed the initial database. Then you can run the application with any IDE that supports .NET.
Happy coding..!
Deploying an ABP application is not different than deploying any .NET or ASP.NET Core application. However, there are some topics that you should care about when you are deploying your applications. You can check ABP's Deployment documentation and ABP Commercial's Deployment documentation before deploying your application.
The application provides the related Dockerfiles and docker-compose file with scripts. You can build the docker images and run them using docker-compose. The necessary database, DbMigrator, and the application will be running on docker with health checks in an isolated docker network.
Navigate to etc/build folder and run the build-images-locally.ps1 script. You can examine the script to set image tag for your images. It is latest by default.
Navigate to etc/docker folder and run the run-docker.ps1 script. The script will generate developer certificates (if it doesn't exist already) with dotnet dev-certs command to use HTTPS. Then, the script runs the provided docker-compose file on detached mode.
Not: Developer certificate is only valid for localhost domain. If you want to deploy to a real DNS in a production environment, use LetsEncrypt or similar tools.
