A Simple Tutorial on Running ASP.NET Core on Mac Using Docker

First, you need to install Docker on your Mac

Download link: https://download.docker.com/mac/stable/Docker.dmg

Or check someone else's installation tutorial 

How to install will not be elaborated here.

Open Docker

Enter the command 

docker run -d --rm -p 8000:80 --name aspnetcore_sample microsoft/dotnet-samples:aspnetapp　　　　#Method 1

Note:

• 　　-it runs and enters the container, which occupies the terminal
• 　　-d runs the container in the background, -d should not be used with -it together. It is recommended to use the first method to avoid occupying the terminal as we need to enter other commands later.
• 　　You can also omit -d and open a new command window. 

Wait a moment

The result is as shown in the figure

Finally, a string of characters is output.

Command explanation

docker run    run 

-i    run the container in interactive mode, usually used with -t. After running the container, you will enter this container (system).

-d    run the container in the background (to avoid occupying the terminal), and return the container ID.

--rm    automatically delete the container after it exits. It cannot be used with -d. For convenience, the author used -d.

-p 8000:80                custom port external port:container port. If you want Docker to assign automatically, just use -P.
