从命令行运行 IIS Express.Net Core

Question

In a project im working on, we are upgrading our Episerver CMS website from CMS11 (.net framework) to Optimizely CMS12 (.Net core) for a customer.

To run IIS Express using CLI (to not have the need to run the application from VS/Rider) and start NPM develop, we have written this.bat script.

@ECHO OFF

ECHO starting site
start iisexpress /config:.vs\*PROJECT_NAME*\config\applicationhost.config /siteid:2
cd %~dp0\src\Site
start npm run develop

As a result of upgrading from framework to core, we are now configuring the project through appsettings.json instead of applicationhost.config (XML), where we define which site bindings to be launched from (siteid:2).

I've been looking for a way to do the same through bindings in.json, with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas for a solution?

Answer 1

I would recommend using Kestrel instead of IIS Express locally and simply start the site with: do.net run

You can also use do.net watch to automatically rebuild/restart the site when source code files change.
