⁠Docker Setup for Blazor Server Application

⁠Pull the Docker Image

First, pull the latest version of the Blazor Server Docker image:

docker pull blazordevlab/cleanarchitectureblazorserver:latest

⁠Run the Docker Container

You can start the container in two modes: using an in-memory database for development purposes or connecting to an MSSQL database for persistent storage and configuring SMTP for email functionalities.

For Development (In-Memory Database):

docker run -p 8443:443 -e UseInMemoryDatabase=true -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development -e ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=443 blazordevlab/cleanarchitectureblazorserver:latest

For Production (Persistent Database and SMTP Configuration):

docker run -d -p 8443:443 \
-e UseInMemoryDatabase=false \
-e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development \
-e ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=80 \
-e ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=443 \
-e DatabaseSettings__DBProvider=mssql \
-e DatabaseSettings__ConnectionString="Server=127.0.0.1;Database=BlazorDashboardDb;User Id=sa;Password=<YourPassword>;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;Encrypt=false;TrustServerCertificate=false" \
-e SmtpClientOptions__User=<YourSMTPUser> \
-e SmtpClientOptions__Port=25 \
-e SmtpClientOptions__Server=<YourSMTPServer> \
-e SmtpClientOptions__Password=<YourSMTPPassword> \
-e Authentication__Microsoft__ClientId=<YourMicrosoftClientId> \
-e Authentication__Microsoft__ClientSecret=<YourMicrosoftClientSecret> \
-e Authentication__Google__ClientId=<YourGoogleClientId> \
-e Authentication__Google__ClientSecret=<YourGoogleClientSecret> \
-e Authentication__Facebook__AppId=<YourFacebookAppId> \
-e Authentication__Facebook__AppSecret=<YourFacebookAppSecret> \

⁠Docker Compose Setup

For easier management, use a docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.8'
services:
  blazorserverapp:
    image: blazordevlab/cleanarchitectureblazorserver:latest
    environment:
      - UseInMemoryDatabase=false
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
      - ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:80;https://+:443
      - ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=80
      - ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=443
      - DatabaseSettings__DBProvider=mssql
      - DatabaseSettings__ConnectionString=Server=sqlserver;Database=BlazorDashboardDb;User Id=sa;Password=YourStrongPassword!;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;Encrypt=false;TrustServerCertificate=false
      - SmtpClientOptions__User=<YourSMTPUser>
      - SmtpClientOptions__Port=25
      - SmtpClientOptions__Server=<YourSMTPServer>
      - SmtpClientOptions__Password=<YourSMTPPassword>
      - Authentication__Microsoft__ClientId=<YourMicrosoftClientId>
      - Authentication__Microsoft__ClientSecret=<YourMicrosoftClientSecret>
      - Authentication__Google__ClientId=<YourGoogleClientId>
      - Authentication__Google__ClientSecret=<YourGoogleClientSecret>
      - Authentication__Facebook__AppId=<YourFacebookAppId>
      - Authentication__Facebook__AppSecret=<YourFacebookAppSecret>
    ports:
      - "8443:443"
    volumes:
      - files_volume:/app/Files
    depends_on:
      - sqlserver

  sqlserver:
    image: mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest
    environment:
      - ACCEPT_EULA=Y
      - MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=YourStrongPassword!
    ports:
      - "1433:1433"
    volumes:
      - sql_volume:/var/opt/mssql

volumes:
  files_volume:
  sql_volume:

⁠Notes:

Replace <Your...> placeholders with actual values from your environment. The files_volume volume is used for persistent storage of application files. Adjust or extend volumes based on your specific needs. This optimized guide should help in setting up your Blazor Server application with either an in-memory or MSSQL database, configured SMTP server for email functionalities, and OAuth authentication for Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.

⁠Supported Databases

• PostgreSQL (Provider Name: postgresql)
• Microsoft SQL Server (Provider Name: mssql)
• SQLite (Provider Name: sqlite)

⁠How to select a specific Database?

1. Open the appsettings.json file located in the src directory of the Server.UI project.
2. Change the setting DBProvider to the desired provider name (See Supported Databases).
3. Change the ConnectionString to a connection string, which works for your selected database provider.

⁠Docker compose https deployment

• ⁠Create self-signed development certificates for the project

  cmd: dotnet dev-certs https -ep $env:USERPROFILE\.aspnet\https\CleanArchitecture.Blazor.Server.UI.pfx -p Password@123
  • cmd: dotnet dev-certs https --trust
• Manage User secrets to save the password
  • cmd: dotnet user-secrets init
  • cmd: dotnet user-secrets -p Server.UI.csproj set "Kestrel:Certificates:Development:Password" "Password@123"
