Host a .net app on Linux with CloudPanel 2

Here is a step by step guide to deploy and serve .net web application on Debian ( ubuntu also ok) and control panel solution as Cloud Panel 2

Firstly you need and up and running CloudPanel 2, You can use Digital Ocean and simply set up a new droplet (VPS server) with CloudPanel from marketplace.

Or install Cloud Panel 2 manually using these steps here: https://www.cloudpanel.io/docs/v2/getting-started/other/

In this senario my app name is NA.Api, you can rename NA.Api in following scripts

  1. Install github cli https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_linux.md#debian-ubuntu-linux-raspberry-pi-os-apt
  2. Install dotnet SDK https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-debian
  3. Clone your code, I use /home/repos/ foder; gh repo clone SolidAppers/NA.Api
  4. Write deploy script; 
    cd /home
nano NA.Api.sh

    Paste following script;

    echo "NA.Api Deployment"
cd /home/repos/NA.Api/
echo "Sync repo"
gh repo sync
echo "Stop service"
systemctl stop  NA.Api.service
echo "Publishing ..."
dotnet publish -c Release -o /home/deploy/NA.Api/
echo "Starting service"
systemctl start  NA.Api.service
echo "Done!"
  5. Add service file 
    $ cd /etc/systemd/system
$ nano NA.Api.service

    Paste following script;

    [Unit]
Description=NA.Api App

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/deploy/NA.Api
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dotnet /home/deploy/NA.Api/NA.Api.dll --urls "https://localhost:5601"
Restart=always
# Restart service after 10 seconds if the dotnet service crashes:
RestartSec=10
KillSignal=SIGINT
SyslogIdentifier=NAapi-app
User=root
Environment=ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production
Environment=DOTNET_PRINT_TELEMETRY_MESSAGE=false

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
  6. Automatically get it to start on boot: $ systemctl enable NA.Api.service
  7. We can now start the service: $ systemctl start NA.Api.service
  8. And automatically get it to start on boot: $ systemctl enable NA.Api.service
  9. That’s it! run the deploy script bash NA.Api.sh
  10. Lastly add a site on CloudPanel with Reverse proxy https://www.cloudpanel.io/blog/cloudpanel-2-2-1-release-reverse-proxy-support-and-new-languages/
