Deploying classic ASP application on IIS through Docker

Question

I want to deploy my legacy classic asp application on IIS through docker.I am able to create image and i am able to run the image. Everything works well,but when i tried hit the IP Address ,it is not working.

I followed below steps. 1.I used below Docker file and my application placed in share folder. 2.I ran the docker file using following power shell command:

Docker file:

#escape=`
FROM microsoft/iis:windowsservercore-ltsc2016
SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"]

RUN Install-WindowsFeature Web-ASP

COPY ./share/ClassicAspApp.zip

RUN Expand-Archive -Path ClassicAspApp.zip -DestinationPath C:\ClassicAspApp; `
    Remove-Item ClassicAspApp.zip

RUN Remove-Website -Name 'Default Web Site'; `
    New-Website -Name web-app -Port 80 -PhysicalPath C:\ClassicAspApp

Shell Command :
docker image build `
  -t sixeyed/w2k3-classic-asp `
  -f .\docker\classic-asp\Dockerfile .   #1.1

docker container run -d sixeyed/w2k3-classic-asp

At last i ran the docker container inspect given Container id .then it shows the all the details about the container,in that i found ip address,when i hit the ip address in the browser. Its not displaying my site.

I believe you are missing port mapping while run the container: Try like this

docker run -d -p 8081:80 sixeyed/w2k3-classic-asp

And then try accessing your website at http://localhost:8081

Note 8081 is any random port you can even map port 80 on your machine to port 80 of the container
