ASP.NET Core with PostgreSQL and Docker Demo

Application demo designed to show how ASP.NET Core and PostgreSQL can be run in Docker containers. The app uses Entity Framework to create a simple database that stores Docker commands and examples. It also shows how Angular can be integrated with Web API to display customer information.

Running the App with Docker Compose

  1. Install Docker Desktop for Mac or Docker Desktop for Windows.

  2. Navigate to the AspNetCorePostgreSQLDockerApp subfolder in a console window.

  3. Open the Client folder in a terminal window and run the following commands at the root of the folder (requires Node.js):

    • npm install
    • npm install -g @angular/cli
    • ng build

  4. Move back up a level to the AspNetCorePostgreSQLDockerApp in the terminal window:

    • Run docker-compose build

    • Run docker-compose up

  5. Navigate to http://localhost:5000 in your browser to view the site.

Using the Web App for Container Services on Azure

  1. Run docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build.
  2. Tag the aspnetcoreapp image as [yourDockerHubUserAccount]/aspnetcoreapp. Make sure you substitute your Docker Hub user account for [yourDockerHubUserAccount].
  3. Push the image to Docker Hub using docker push [yourDockerHubUserAccount]/aspnetcoreapp.
  4. Open docker-compose azure.yml file and change the image for the web service to [yourDockerHubUserAccount]/aspnetcoreapp.
  5. Create a new Web App for Containers service in Azure. You'll need to add it to a new or existing Resource Group.
  6. On the Docker tab, switch Options to Docker Compose, Image Source to Docker Hub and upload the docker-compose azure.yml file using the Configuration File section of the screen.
  7. Wait for the service to start (it may take a few minutes to pull the image and fire up the Web App Service) and then click the web link it provides in the Overview section to hit the app.
