ASP.NET Core uses HTTPS by default. HTTPS relies on certificates for trust, identity, and encryption.
This document explains how to run pre-built container images with HTTPS.
See Developing ASP.NET Core Applications with Docker over HTTPS for development scenarios.
This sample requires Docker 17.06 or later of the Docker client.
PrerequisitesThe .NET Core 2.2 SDK or later is required for some of the instructions in this document.
CertificatesA certificate from a certificate authority is required for production hosting for a domain. Let's Encrypt is a certificate authority that offers free certificates.
This document uses self-signed development certificates for hosting pre-built images over localhost
. The instructions are similar to using production certificates.
For production certificates:
dotnet dev-certs
tool is not required.The instructions contained in the following section volume mount certificates into containers using the volumes
property in docker-compose.yml. You could add certificates into container images with a COPY
command in a Dockerfile, but it's not recommended. Copying certificates into an image isn't recommended for the following reasons:
Use the following instructions for your operating system configuration.
Windows using Linux containersGenerate certificate and configure local machine:
dotnet dev-certs https -ep "$env:USERPROFILE\.aspnet\https\aspnetapp.pfx" -p $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
The previous command using the .NET CLI:
dotnet dev-certs https -ep %USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https\aspnetapp.pfx -p $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
In the preceding commands, replace $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$
with a password.
Create a docker-compose.debug.yml file with the following content:
version: '3.4'
services:
webapp:
image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/samples:aspnetapp
ports:
- 80
- 443
environment:
- ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
- ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+:443;http://+:80
- ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password=-\0pw-
- ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/aspnetapp.pfx
volumes:
- ~/.aspnet/https:/https:ro
The password specified in the docker compose file must match the password used for the certificate.
Start the container with ASP.NET Core configured for HTTPS:
docker-compose -f "docker-compose.debug.yml" up -d
macOS or Linux
Generate certificate and configure local machine:
dotnet dev-certs https -ep ${HOME}/.aspnet/https/aspnetapp.pfx -p $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
On Linux, dotnet dev-certs https --trust
requires .NET 9 or later SDK. For Linux on .NET 8.0.401 or earlier SDK, see your Linux distribution's documentation for trusting a certificate.
In the preceding commands, replace $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$
with a password.
Create a docker-compose.debug.yml file with the following content:
version: '3.4'
services:
webapp:
image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/samples:aspnetapp
ports:

- 443
environment:
- ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
- ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+:443;http://+:80
- ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password=-\0pw-
- ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/aspnetapp.pfx
volumes:
- ~/.aspnet/https:/https:ro
The password specified in the docker compose file must match the password used for the certificate.
Start the container with ASP.NET Core configured for HTTPS:
docker-compose -f "docker-compose.debug.yml" up -d
Windows using Windows containers
Generate certificate and configure local machine:
dotnet dev-certs https -ep %USERPROFILE%\.aspnet\https\aspnetapp.pfx -p $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
In the preceding commands, replace $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$
with a password.

- ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=C:\https\aspnetapp.pfx
volumes:
