您可以在IIS中托管ServiceStack Web App吗？

Question

I have made a ServiceStack Web App that uses a custom AppHost from a plugin (similar to the example https://github.com/NetCoreWebApps/WebApp/tree/master/src/apps/chat ). I can run it on macOS with the dotnet command as per the examples.

Can I host my Service Stack Web App on IIS? What approach should I take? Reverse-proxying Kestrel like this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/publishing/iis?tabs=aspnetcore2x

or will I need to have different AppHost/Startup code for the two hosting situations?

Or maybe there's a fundamental reason why it will never work?

Answer 1

WebApp is a standard .NET Core 2.0 App so you'll be able to host it as you would any other .NET Core App. Normally reverse proxies don't require anything except the internal url where the request is proxied to , but it looks like IIS wants you to explicitly call .UseIISIntegration() which is an issue that may have prevented the existing WebApp binary as it didn't call .NET Core 2.0 WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args) which among other things would turn on IISIntegration when the .NET Core App is hosted in IIS/Windows which is now being done from this commit .

You can find the updated Web App binaries with this change in the /web folder of the https://github.com/NetCoreWebApps/Chat project.
