InvalidOperationException while running asp.net in a linux machine under docker

Question

I have just set up my linux machine with the new .NET support.

1. Using this tutorial: http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/getting-started/installing-on-linux.html

2. Having this dockerfile:

    FROM microsoft/aspnet:1.0.0-beta5
   
    # Copy the project into folder and then restore packages
    COPY . app
    WORKDIR app
    RUN ["dnu","restore"]
   
    # Open this port in the container
    EXPOSE 5000
    # Start application
    ENTRYPOINT ["dnx",".", "web"]
   

3. Running docker build . is successful

4. When running # docker run -p 8080:5000 dockerfile I get this exception:

   System.InvalidOperationException: No service for type 'Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.IApplicationEnvironment' has been registered.

Here is my full build log

What am I doing wrong here? Running the same project with dnx . web in a windows starts up my webapi successfully.

Answer 1

Solved it myself. Found out that during the installation alongside with the tutorial, it was installing an old mono version. You need Mono 4.x, according to this post http://blog.bananacoding.com/blog/first-impressions-of-aspnet-and-visual-studio-code-on-osx

So what I did was the following:

1. Uninstall mono using .net
2. Purging it
3. Using the installation instructions on the mono website, installing mono 4-x
4. Using apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" -f install I forced to overwrite everything since I got errors about some libs
5. dnvm install latest
6. Fitting my project to the latest versions (see several update posts on the net)
7. dnu restore
8. dnx kestrel

DONE!
