Cant access my Docker DotNet core website
Finally.
I found this blog post: http://dotnetliberty.com/index.php/2015/11/26/asp-net-5-on-aws-ec2-container-service-in-10-steps/
Even though it used an old version of the dotnet core there was an important point I had overseen;
Notice that I’ve provided an extra parameter to the dnx web command to tell it to serve on 0.0.0.0 (rather than the default localhost). This will allow our web application to serve requests that come in from the port forwarding provided by Docker which defaults to 0.0.0.0.
Which is pretty damn important.
Solution:
var host = new WebHostBuilder()
.UseKestrel()
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.UseUrls("http://0.0.0.0:5000")
.Build();
Old code:
var host = new WebHostBuilder()
.UseKestrel()
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.UseUrls("http://localhost:5000")
.Build();
Which is wery frustrating since it seemed to work perfect in Linux and windows and app starting up in Docker, but never getting any requests. Hope this helps some other poor souls out there :)
