Deploy Creatio .NET Core application server on Linux using Docker

Use this deployment method to run a compartmentalized Creatio application. We assume that you have installed the Redis sever, deployed the Creatio database, and set up the ConnectionStrings.config file.

To deploy Creatio application server using Docker:

  • Make Redis accessible from the Docker container. Read more >>>

  • Install Docker. Read more >>>

  • Create a Dockerfile. Read more >>>

  • Build and run Docker image. Read more >>>

Configure Creatio caching server (Redis)

To make Redis accessible from the Docker container:

1.Open redis.conf in a text editor as root. For example, use the Nano text editor:

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

2.Locate the “bind 127.0.0.1 ::1” entry. Replace the entry with “bind 0.0.0.0.”

3.Save changes and exit the editor.

4.Restart the Redis server:

sudo systemctl restart redis-server

Install Docker

To install Docker, run

sudo apt-get install docker

Create a Dockerfile

To create a Dockerfile:

1.Navigate to the application root directory:

cd /path/to/application/directory/

/path/to/application/directory/ – the directory with Creatio setup files.

2.Create a Dockerfile using the Nano text editor:

nano Dockerfile

3.Then, insert the following code:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1 AS base
EXPOSE 5000 5002

RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install \
libgdiplus \
libc6-dev && \
apt-get clean all && \
   rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /var/cache/apt/*

WORKDIR /app
COPY . ./

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
ENV ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT Development
ENV TZ US/Eastern
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "Terrasoft.WebHost.dll"]

4.Save changes by pressing Ctrl+O

5.Exit the editor by pressing Ctrl+X.

Build and run a Docker image

Build a docker image by running the following command:

docker build -f Dockerfile -t creatioimg .

Run the docker image:

docker run -p http_port_number:5000 -p https_port_number:5002  -d --dns=DNS_server_ip --dns-search=DNS_address_suffix --name Creatio creatioimg

http_port_number – a port number. Docker will serve the HTTP version on this port

https_port_number – a port number. Docker will serve the HTTPS version on this port

DNS_server_ip – the IP address of a DNS server to enable the container to resolve Internet domains. You can use multiple --dns flags for multiple DNS servers.

DNS_address_suffix – a DNS search domain to enable the container to search non-fully-qualified hostnames. You can use multiple --dns-search flags for multiple DNS search domains.

Note

Add the --restart=always flag to the command make a persistent Docker container.

The HTTP version of the Creatio application will be available on port http_port_number.

The HTTPS version of the Creatio application will be available on port https_port_number.

Note

To log in to a newly deployed application, use the default Supervisor user account. It is highly recommended to change the Supervisor password immediately. Login: Supervisor; Password: Supervisor.
