Chapter 2. .NET Core 1.1 on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

DOTNET_STARTUP_PROJECT

Used to select the project to run. This must be the folder containing project.json

Current working directory

DOTNET_PUBLISH

Used to control whether the application should be built by executing dotnet build or dotnet publish. To publish the application, set the value to true. It is recommended to publish your application.

For backwards compatibility, the default is false. In the next major release, this variable will be removed and the builder will always publish the application.

DOTNET_ASSEMBLY_NAME

Used to select the assembly to run. This must not include the .dll extension. Set this to the output assembly name specified in project.json (name, buildOptions/outputName). For project.json, the assembly name defaults to the project.json parent folder. When project.json is at the context-dir, the parent folder name will be src. So, by default, this generates a src.dll assembly. Setting DOTNET_ASSEMBLY_NAME will cause:

* The assembly to be <DOTNET_ASSEMBLY_NAME>.dll

* The application sources to be in subfolder DOTNET_ASSEMBLY_NAME in the deployed container.

The name of the DOTNET_STARTUP_PROJECT folder

DOTNET_RESTORE_SOURCES

Used to specify the space-separated list of NuGet package sources used during the restore operation. This overrides all of the sources specified in the NuGet.config file.

Unset

DOTNET_NPM_TOOLS

Used to specify a list of NPM packages to install before building the application

Unset

DOTNET_TEST_PROJECTS

Used to specify the space-separated list of test projects to run. This must be folders containing project.json. dotnet test is invoked for each folder.

Unset

DOTNET_CONFIGURATION

Used to run the application in Debug or Release mode. This value should be either Release or Debug.

Release

ASPNETCORE_URLS

This variable is set to http://*:8080 to configure ASP.NET Core to use the port exposed by the image. It is not recommended to change this.

http://*:8080

HTTP_PROXY

Configures the HTTP proxy used when building and running the application

HTTPS_PROXY

Configures the HTTPS proxy used when building and running the application

NPM_MIRROR
