.net core web api app with https in docker - docker

Question

I have the simplest possible Web Api app in .net core ( with the default api/values api you get upon creation)
I've enabled HTTPS so in debug it works, and kestrel reports:
Hosting environment: Development
Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
When I run the app in docker (using the MS provided dockerfile), kestrel reports that it only listens on port 80
Hosting environment: Production
Now listening on: http://[::]:80
How to configure the app to listen on https as well in docker?

Answer 1

After making sure that you have EXPOSE 5001 in your app Dockerfile,
use this command to start your app :
sudo docker run -it -p 5000:5000 -p 5001:5001
-e ASPNETCORE_URLS="https://+443;http://+80"
-e ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORT=5001
-e ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password="{YOUR_CERTS_PASSWORD}"
-e ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/{YOUR_CERT}.pfx
-v ${HOME}/.aspnet/https:/https/
--restart=always
-d {YOUR_DOCKER_ID}/{YOUR_IMAGE_NAME}
UPDATE :
Just use a self-signed certificate for debugging, here's an example for Kestrel :
WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseKestrel(options =>
{
options.Listen(IPAddress.Loopback, 5000); // http:localhost:5000
options.Listen(IPAddress.Any, 80); // http:*:80
options.Listen(IPAddress.Loopback, 443, listenOptions =>
{
listenOptions.UseHttps("certificate.pfx", "password");
});
})
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.Build();
