Chapter 3. Deploying applications with OpenShift Client
You can use OpenShift Client (oc) for application deployment. You can deploy applications from source or from binary artifacts.
3.1. Deploying applications from source using oc
The following example demonstrates how to deploy the example-app application using oc
, which is in the app
folder on the dotnet-8.0
branch of the redhat-developer/s2i-dotnetcore-ex
GitHub repository:
Procedure
Create a new OpenShift project:
$ oc new-project sample-project
Add the ASP.NET Core application:
$ oc new-app --name=example-app 'dotnet:8.0-ubi8~https://github.com/redhat-developer/s2i-dotnetcore-ex#dotnet-8.0' --build-env DOTNET_STARTUP_PROJECT=app
Track the progress of the build:
$ oc logs -f bc/example-app
View the deployed application once the build is finished:
$ oc logs -f dc/example-app
The application is now accessible within the project.
Optional: Make the project accessible externally:
$ oc expose svc/example-app
Obtain the shareable URL:
$ oc get routes
3.2. Deploying applications from binary artifacts using oc
You can use .NET Source-to-Image (S2I) builder image to build applications using binary artifacts that you provide.
Prerequisites
Published application.
For more information, see
Procedure
Create a new binary build:
$ oc new-build --name=my-web-app dotnet:8.0-ubi8 --binary=true
Start the build and specify the path to the binary artifacts on your local machine:
$ oc start-build my-web-app --from-dir=bin/Release/net8.0/publish
Create a new application:
$ oc new-app my-web-app
