Great explanation. I really liked how you explained every step of the process and highlighted how to check the status and fix the issues. You will have saved a lot of people a lot of headaches and time by making this great video. Thanks!

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! Glad to hear that. Your support and encouragement are greatly appreciated!

This is exactly what I need. Thank you so much!

[@sivakumarayappan1443]

Hey you have saved my time, perfectly working and deployed to VPS server. Timely helped your video. Great tutorial. One small advise, please go slowly when sharing the commands. I have paused many times to look at the commands your typed. Apart from that you video is awesome. I have forwarded to some of my friends as well.

[@CodingDroplets]

Happy to heart that the video helped you deploy your application to your VPS server! Thanks for your feedback about the command explanations. I’ll make sure to slow down in future videos to make it easier to follow. I appreciate you sharing the video with your friends and for the kind words!

You're the best. Very useful and simple guide. Thank you

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you for your kind words! Glad to hear that.

[@Freyja_0]

Great video overall, would been also great if you could show how to setup SSL on apache2

[@CodingDroplets]

To enable HTTPS with Apache, you need to include the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile directives in your Apache configuration file. These directives specify the paths to your SSL certificate and private key files. You can refer to the official Apache documentation: httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ssl/ssl_howto.html

Please make a video dotnet 8 blazor web app with nginx. I tried app is running on port but site not visible.. please

[@CleoCat75]

it works! I had to chmod 777 everything though because everything was owned by root because I had to run everything with sudo. I'm sure I'll figure out that soon though.

Thank You!

[@MakeAnything-]

Thank you for this video. Is there any reason why you dont just have the blazor app listen on 443? Why the apache passthrough?

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you for your comment! As I configured a reverse proxy, the request is routed from the Apache web server to the application. If you need to secure the application, you can configure SSL in Apache, where the user requests are hitting. Additionally, using Apache passthrough allows you to host multiple applications that listen on port 443 with different domains or subdomains. This setup offers more flexibility and easier management of your applications.

Thanks for tutorial

[@CodingDroplets]

You're welcome

[@murilobarbosa8268]

Awesome tutorial, helped me a lot as a beginner in deployments. To work with a postgreSQL database I would just install postgres on the server and modify the connection string in the application file? Or I need to do more configuration on the provider?

[@CodingDroplets]

I'm glad to hear that you found the tutorial helpful! Setting up a PostgreSQL database on the server and modifying the connection string in the application file is a great start. However, depending on your specific requirements and the setup of your PostgreSQL database, you may need to do additional configuration, such as setting up users and permissions, configuring the PostgreSQL server to accept remote connections (if application and database are in different servers), and ensuring that any firewall settings allow access to the database from your application server.

[@AthelstanEngland]

Not quite ready to do this yet but very useful and clear information. Thank you. Do you use Hostinger for any production deployments?

[@CodingDroplets]

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I do use Hostinger for production deployments, and I've found their services to be reliable. Additionally, their customer support is excellent, which is crucial for any hosting provider.

Next do one with MS SQL Database with Blazor App

[@CodingDroplets]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely consider creating a tutorial on hosting a Blazor app with an MS SQL database on Linux. Stay tuned!

Could we apply the same method with Blazor SSR?

[@CodingDroplets]

Yes, the same method applies for hosting it on Linux using an Apache web server. The application demonstrated in the video is actually a Blazor Server-Side app.

I am having problems with the service

[@CodingDroplets]

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're facing issues with your service. To assist you better, could you please provide more details about the specific problem you're encountering? It would help to know any error messages or behaviors you're seeing so that I can give you more targeted advice to resolve the issue. Thank you!

What about upgrades? On iis I just overwrite the binaries. Iis spins up a new instance and does not interrupt any long running processes.

[@CodingDroplets]

For upgrades on a Linux server hosting an ASP.NET Core application, you can follow a similar approach to minimize downtime. Here's how you can handle upgrades: 1. Stop the Service: Use the 'systemctl stop' command to stop the service running your ASP.NET Core application. This will gracefully shut down your application. 2. Copy the Binaries: After stopping the service, replace the existing binaries with the updated ones. This step is similar to what you do on IIS. 3. Start the Service: Use the 'systemctl start' command to start the service again with the new binaries. By following this process, you can perform upgrades without causing extended downtime for your application, similar to the approach you mentioned with IIS. It allows for a seamless transition to the new version of your ASP.NET Core application.

[@_miranHorvat]

Thank you for answering. What if downtime is not acceptable? At the moment I can update my .net 4.6 framework monoliths when ever needed. Often multiple times a day. And there is absolutely no client interruption.

[@anthonysilver2983]

Hello, need help with updating the web app. I did these steps: 1. Stopped Apache2 2. Copy all the files in my newly built web app and replaced the contents in var/apps/demoapps/ in ubuntu 3. Started Apache2 But whenever I access it, it still shows the old build. I'm not sure why this is happening, perhaps you can shed some light into what I'm missing?

[@CodingDroplets]

For updating an existing web app, you don't need to stop apache2. You can stop the service which you created for your application (in the video I created demoapp.service). You can follow the below steps. 1. Stop the Service: systemctl stop demoapp 2. Replace the files in the server 3. Start the Service: systemctl start demoapp

Do you have sample site that uses database and deployed in linux? Thanks

[@CodingDroplets]

The steps I demonstrated in the tutorial generally cover the deployment of the ASP.NET Core application. However, the configuration related to the database might differ based on the database provider (e.g., SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL).

[@cissemy]

Is it possible to deploy it to a shared linux hosting (cpanel does not support .net core) ? Thanks

[@CodingDroplets]

You can try using Plesk (I haven't tried it yet). www.plesk.com/kb/support/asp-net-core-support-in-plesk/

Can i deploy asp dotnet website with database in linux server through apache proxy . Can you guide me how to do it with database pls

[@CodingDroplets]

Certainly! Deploying an ASP.NET Core website with a database on a Linux server is entirely feasible. Should you require the database to reside on the same server, it's imperative to install the corresponding database server on your Linux environment. The specific steps may vary depending on the type of database you intend to use.

Are you serious you make video to deal with vps ?? 😅 i thought that you make video for shared hosting if i vps I can do what ever i want

[@CodingDroplets]

VPS (Virtual Private Server) indeed gives you more control and flexibility compared to shared hosting environments. The tutorial focuses on setting up .NET Core applications on VPS because it allows developers to have complete control over the server environment, which is crucial for deploying and managing applications efficiently.
