asp.net core

[johnbolt]

Has anyone looked into doing this for cloudron? With the new .net core stack, all the required infrastructure pieces are self contained.

I don't believe we have any app so far which uses asp.net at all. Are you looking to deploy a custom application?

[johnbolt]

Yes, I am trying to see if I can start hosting my asp.net CORE applications on here with a sqlite database or similar.

@nebulon Would it be possible to add asp.net core to the LAMP app? AFAIK it should be trivial to setup in the current apps.

[nebulon]

To be honest I don't really have any clue and never worked with asp.net So I would not even know if it works like cgi or has built-in server capabilities.
I don't think it makes sense to add it to the LAMP app. But if so create a new app with asp.net?

[johnbolt]

Sorry, I didn't explain very well. Asp.net core is a new version of asp.net which does not require any internal ".net" / server capabilities. It is deployable to Linux, Mac, Windows. Basically the server app if fully self contained.

With the release of .NET 8 a few days ago, I've been renewing my interest in using it. I would not add it to LAMP but instead create another variant of LAMP with .NET added. You could remove PHP. I'm not sure there is an acronym for it though. A quick reddit search found most are setting up "Linux, Kestrel, PostgreSQL/SQL Server, ASPNet Core"

Personally I would use Linux, Kestrel, MariaDB/MySQL, and ASPNET Core instead of Postgre but Postgre has been getting more and more. popular thanks to Supabase

I would love to see this happen if possible for Cloundron. There may be existing containers you can use for the .NET 8 for Linux.

@brianb It might be best to find OSS apps that need this stack, and then when one gets packaged the pattern for other apps that need the same stack will emerge.

Otherwise you can install asp.net core (which seems to come with kestrel) in LAMP for testing.

The DBs are provided by Cloudron already via addons.

@brianb you can compile your app as self contained. It will eliminate the need of having the .net framework installed in the cloudron base images.
