# How to Containerize a .NET App with Docker With Visual Studio Code
### What You’ll Need
- **Docker Desktop**: Make sure you’ve installed the latest version.
- **Git**: You’ll need a Git client. Any client works, but the examples here use the command line.
---
### What’s This About?
This guide shows you how to:
1. Put a .NET app into a Docker container.
2. Run it !
---
### Step 1: Get the this Sample App
We’ll use a ready-made .NET app for this.
1. Open your terminal.
2. Go to the folder where you want to work.
3. Clone the app by running this command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/docker/docker-webapp-example
```
Now you have a folder called `docker-webapp-example`.
---
### Step 2: Set Up Docker Files
Docker needs some setup files to containerize your app. Thankfully, Docker makes this easy with the `docker init` command.
1. Go into the `docker-webapp-example` folder, can do this in your IDE too.
2. Run this in your terminal:
```bash
docker init
```
4. Answer a few questions:
You will notice a prompt like thing in your terminal , if you click the up and down arrow on your keyboard , this will allow you to select a platform , then hit enter
- **Platform**: Pick `ASP.NET Core`.
- **Main Project**: Type `docker-webapp-example`.
- **.NET Version**: Choose `9.0` or whichever version you have .
- **Port**: Use `8080`, this can literally be any port number of your choosing.
When done, Docker will create these files for you:
- `.dockerignore`
- `Dockerfile`
- `compose.yaml`
- `README.Docker.md`
Your folder will now look like this:
```
docker-webapp-example/
├── docker-webapp-example/
├── .dockerignore
├── .gitignore
├── compose.yaml
├── docker-webapp-example.sln/
├── Dockerfile
├── README.Docker.md
├── README.md
```
---
### Step 3: Run Your App in Docker
1. In the `docker-dotnet-sample` folder, run this command:
```bash
docker compose up --build
```
3. Head over to docker desktop and select the port as highlighted below. You’ll see the app running!
5. To stop the app, press `Ctrl+C` in the terminal, maybe twice to stop it in your IDE aswell.
---
### Step 4: Run It in the Background (Optional)
Want the app to keep running even after you close the terminal? Do this:
1. Run:
```bash
docker compose up --build -d
```
2. Check the app at [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
3. To stop the app, run:
```bash
docker compose down
```
