Deploy Mode

  • Then, click Save and Publish.

    NOTE

    Refer here for publishing the application to Azure App Service using Visual Studio.

Publish ASP.NET Core Application with CLI

Packing the application and its dependencies into a folder for deployment to a hosting system by using the dotnet publish command.

For CLI deployment, run the following command from your root directory.

dotnet publish -c Release

For ASP.NET Core CLI deployment.

dotnet publish -c Release --self-contained true -r win-x86

Refer to the dotnet publish’s optional arguments.

Use the following command to specify the path for the output directory.

dotnet publish -c Release -o <output directory>

NOTE

If the output directory is not specified, it defaults to ./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/publish/ for a framework-dependent deployment or ./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[runtime]/publish/ for a self-contained deployment.

If the path is relative, the output directory generated is relative to the project file location, not to the current working directory.

Also, refer to the MSDN reference here.

Now, you can host the published folder by using the IIS or Azure app service.
