Question: RunAsService for non web-apps

johnkors opened this issue 6 years ago · 6 comments

Hi,

What would be the equivalent of host.RunAsService() for regular .NET Core (non-web, no ASP.NET Core/Kestrel)-apps..?

Do you have minimal sample of a host that does this? All samples I've seen are centered around hosting ASP.NET Core as a Windows Service, but I only want a IHostedService to run background tasks - no Kestrel or WebHosts needed.

See https://github.com/aspnet/Hosting/blob/master/samples/GenericHostSample/ServiceBaseControlled.cs

So to get this part running, I'd need to implement the the ServiceBaseLiftetime as in the sample ? Any reason for it not being part of a NuGet somewhere instead of the samples..?

Because we haven't gotten to that part yet 😄

Hah. Fair enough. 😸

Shipped it as a NuGet until you get it in .NET Core.

Hope that's ok.
