Includes dotnet watch for live reloading your application when a file is changed.
How to use it:
- Create a .Net core web application. Make sure that project.json contains a reference to the dotnet watch tool:
"tools": { "Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools": { "version": "1.0.0-*", "imports": "portable-net451+win8" } }
- Add a docker file containing
FROM sequentia/dotnet-watch-core-rc2 VOLUME /app WORKDIR /app ENV ASPNETCORE_SERVER.URLS http:https://*:2001 ENV ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT Development EXPOSE 2001 ENTRYPOINT ["/startscript.sh"]
- Build the project docker image
docker build -t MyApplication .
- Run the application by mapping the application folder (containing project.json) to the container /app and map the listening http port (2001 in this example)
docker run -it -v %cd%:/app -p 2001:2001 MyApplication
- The application will start and dotnet watch will executed. Any changes made to the source code outside the docker container will trigger a recompilation of the application inside the container.
