2 years ago This sounds like a great solution for hosting the server locally. I didn't mention this elsewhere (until now), but I plan to host this on the internet for devices that cannot be on the same network to be able to communicate.
I haven't attempted to deploy this yet so I don't know where the pain points are with this process. I'll keep this issue open to see if I am missing something in regards to using Docker to host outside of a local network.
I need to do more research before deployment -- I also have several more items on the roadmap prior to this so I have time to considering deployment options.
Would you be willing to consider a docker server? If so, i can create a sample to show how you can have a solution where after you do a build, then it would automatically create a docker container. I currently have a open source project. however, i had to keep as private because it has lots of information pertaining to my computer. If you are interested, then i will create a custom sample. However, you would have to modify to make it configurable to it would work for others (like mapping other drives). for the solution i came up with, the following would be done.
If you are debugging, it would automatically stop the container.
Then when you do a build, then it would delete the container and create a new container. Plus set it up where if the computer restarts, then the container will restart when the computer restarts unless stopped. that would guarantee the site is always running without iis. i do that for my remote control systems. then a person just opens the wpf app. if no remote control is connected to it, does not care.
