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:
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
To install Docker, run
sudo apt-get install docker
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 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.
