ASP.NET Core & container: locally

Download and install Kitematic right from Docker menu
Install VS tools for Docker https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0f5b2caa-ea00-41c8-b8a2-058c7da0b3e4

ASP.NET Core & container: remotely - registration
Register on DigitalOcean. You can use my referral link, if you'd like https://m.do.co/c/61f8c0f9852c
Create a droplet◦ OneClick apps: Dokku
◦ Size: smallest ($5/mo)
◦ Choose region (I personally like Amsterdam)
◦ No additional options (especially IPv6 - there is a bug with it)
◦ Enter the droplet name
◦ Add key (or create new one)
@ysilvestrov
ASP.NET Core & container: remotely - setup
Setup Domain◦ On your DNS provider, add 2 DNS records
your.domain A DropletIP
*.your.domain A DropletIP
open Dokku on http://your.domain◦ Check the key
◦ Change hostname to your.domain
◦ Check "Use virtualhost naming"
◦ Click Finish setup
@ysilvestrov
ASP.NET Core & container: remotely - tools
Install tools◦ Git for Windows
◦ PuTTy
◦ Add your keys to pageant (installed with PuTTy)
◦ Open your.domain in PuTTy to cache the key
@ysilvestrov
ASP.NET Core & container: remotely - deployment
Push your app◦ Open Git Bash shell◦ cd /c/path/to/your/project/bin/Docker/Release◦ copy Dockerfile on this level from [projectname] folder◦ git init◦ git add .◦ git commit -m "First commit"◦ git remote add dokku [email protected]:your-app-
name◦ git push dokku master◦ If everything is OK, you should see "=====>
Application deployed: http:/ /your-app-name.your.domain
◦ Open that URL and enjoi :)
@ysilvestrov
Why the heck the Spillikin API is done using NodeJS?
Limited DB support (apart from SQL Server – PostgreSQL + SQLite)
Too many changes in naming etc. (k => web => dotnet)
Too many changes in interfaces etc.
