ASP.NET Quickstart

This is an ASP.NET Core Web App Quickstart for Nullstone. This is based off the official ASP.NET Core get started tutorial.

This quickstart is set up with:

• ASP.NET Core 6
• HTTPS disabled (handled by AWS infrastructure)

How to launch via Nullstone

1. Create a public web app. (Remember app-name for later)
2. Add a subdomain. (this will add a Load Balancer capability)
3. Provision

nullstone up --wait --block=<app-name> --env=<env-name> --var=service_port=9000

4. Build, push, and deploy

docker build -t aspnet-quickstart .
nullstone launch --source=aspnet-quickstart --app=<app-name> --env=<env-name>
