Supported versions
You can select the major and minor version. Patch versions are applied periodically for bug fixes and the like. When you deploy your app, you always get the latest available patches.Specify the language
To use .Net Core, specifydotnet as your app’s type:
For example:
Building the application
To build basic applications in .NET containers, it’s enough to use thedotnet publish command
with the default framework-dependent deployment:
where PLATFORM_OUTPUT_DIR is the output directory for compiled languages available at build time.
Typically, .NET Core builds start a collection of build servers, which are helpful for repeated builds.
On Upsun, however, if this process isn’t disabled,
the build process doesn’t finish until the idle timeout is reached.
As a result, you should include -p toggles that disable the Razor compiler for dynamic CSHTML pages (UseRazorBuildServer)
and the .NET MSBuild compiler (UseSharedCompilation).
If you want multiple builds for your application,
make sure to call dotnet build-server shutdown at the end of your build hook.
Running the application
.NET Core applications should be started using theweb.commands.start directive in .upsun/config.yaml.
This ensures that the command starts at the right moment and stops gracefully when a redeployment needs to be executed.
Also, should the program terminate for any reason, it’s automatically restarted.
Note that the start command must run in the foreground.
Incoming requests are passed to the application using either a TCP (default) or Unix socket.
The application must use the appropriate environment variable to determine the URI to listen on.
For a TCP socket (recommended), the application must listen on http://127.0.0.1,
using the PORT environment variable.
There is an Nginx server sitting in front of your application.
Serving static content via Nginx is recommended, as this allows you to control headers (including cache headers)
and also has marginal performance benefits.
Note that HTTPS is also terminated at the Nginx proxy,
so the app.UseHttpsRedirection(); line in Startup.cs should be removed.
To force HTTPS-only, refer to the routes documentation.
The following example configures an environment to serve the static content folders commonly found in ASP.NET MVC templates using Nginx,
while routing other traffic to the .NET application.
You can also route all requests to the application unconditionally:
