ASP.Net GitHub deployment

Posted on July 12, 2024

Hello,

I want to deploy an ASP.Net API with ‘Create Resource From Source Code,’ but after I connect to GitHub, I get an error in the top right corner of the page: ‘no component detected.’

In the repository is name/repository, Branch: master, Source Directory (Optional) / and Auto Deploy is activated.

Please, can you help me?

Hi there,

ASP.Net is not supported as a native buildpack as listed here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/buildpacks/

However what you could do here is to use a Dockerfile instead to deploy your app:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/dockerfile/

Here is an example Dockerfile that you could use for your ASP.Net app:

# Use the official Microsoft .NET SDK image as a base image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:7.0 AS build-env
WORKDIR /app

# Copy csproj and restore as distinct layers
COPY *.csproj ./
RUN dotnet restore

# Copy everything else and build
COPY . ./
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o out

# Build runtime image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:7.0
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build-env /app/out .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "YourAppName.dll"]
