在 Docker 中运行 IIS 时无法访问站点

Question

I followed the instructions on the official Dockerhub repo for IIS ( https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-servercore-iis ), but running into "Site can't be reached" when trying to access via the IP of the container.

I get 403 forbidden when I try htp://localhost:8000. I copied a test.html page into C:/inetpub/wwwroot and verified by logging into the container as well.

The results of appcmd list site is as follows:

SITE "Default Web Site" (id:1,bindings:http/*:80:,state:Started)

Answer 1

403 typically indicates that the web address we are trying to access is not the root directory of the website.
I doubt if there exist any files, which have been copied to the remote docker container. Please make sure that the directory where the dockerfile is located contains the content folder and contains all site files.

WORKDIR /inetpub/wwwroot

COPY content/ .

Feel free to let me know if the problem persists.

Answer 2

You are right in your analysis. What i didn't realize is IIS perhaps serves index.html as default and my file was called helloworld.html which obviously wasn't going to be to served when i access localhost:8000;it works when i try localhost:8000/helloworld.html.
