Deploy ASP.NET Core on Light Cloud - a .NET container on port 8080, with Kestrel on the routed port and configuration from environment variables.
Deploy ASP.NET
ASP.NET Core is detected from your project files and runs as a .NET container on port 8080. No Dockerfile needed - one is generated unless the repo has its own.
Serve it#
Kestrel must listen on the routed port on all interfaces. Modern .NET containers default to 8080; being explicit never hurts:
ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://0.0.0.0:8080
Configuration and database#
ASP.NET Core's configuration maps environment variables with double-underscore nesting - ConnectionStrings__Default reaches ConnectionStrings:Default. From the database's Credentials tab:
ConnectionStrings__Default=Host=203.0.113.10;Port=5432;Database=mydb;Username=appuser;Password=...;SSL Mode=Require
EF Core migrations run at startup (context.Database.Migrate()) or from your machine against the same endpoint.
Scaling#
.NET cold starts sit between Go and the JVM - ReadyToRun builds shorten them further. Scale to zero works well for APIs; set a warm minimum on latency-sensitive production.
