Docker for Windows to host IIS Server - what is the path?

  • 772

Looking for the path to package an asp.net app in IIS in a docker container.

The docs/examples we have seen so far show how to package a windows application (and by extension, windows service) in a docker container:

From that, we can see how to package an apache server along with our app in a docker container.

But what we do not see are docs / vision to embed IIS instance (with our app installed in it) in a docker container.

Where to find such docs/examples?

(We have an asp.net app on IIS 8.5 / .NET 4.51)

    It looks like this is what you are after:

    https://github.com/Microsoft/Virtualization-Documentation/tree/live/windows-container-samples/iis

    Sample to create a Windows Server Container Image with IIS 10.0 enabled

    These samples were created for Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 3 with Containers. They assume that the WindowsServerCore Container base image is present.

  2. The sample Bryan posted is a great resource (that's the Hyper-V GitHub account so we do track issues and requests there).

    In addition, we used IIS as the default workload for our Windows Server Container and Hyper-V Container quickstart guides. Here are step by step instructions for Server TP4: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/manage_docker.
