.Net Core support

@cpanel Is there any update regarding this request?

I've been using cPanel for many years and would love to keep using it. net core is becoming huge and with the current Microsoft's approach it has great potential.

We're running some Azure instances but their prices are insane. Have been looking for other options and Plesk offers Docker container support which is a good alternative, but I believe native net core compatibility would be a much better solution.

With official dotnet support on Linux and Apache as an option for the Kestrel proxy; net core support could be a great addition to cPanel.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/publishing/apache-proxy

EasyApache 3 used to have support for mod_mono and it was expensive to maintain and almost nobody actually used it. Whatever development effort it would take to implement .net core support, I would much rather see spent elsewhere.

That said, there's nothing stopping anyone from making an RPM that works with EasyApache 4.

(The opinions expressed herein are mine and may not represent the views of my employer.)

This would be very very useful and a nice selling point

Are there any update?

Does anybody have a working(even unsupported) method?

Best

For anyone that is interested:

Since cPanel doesn't have this top-of-backlog I decided to take matters into my own hands and I'm planning on building a plugin for cPanel that allows you to run .net core with an optional installation of SQL Server for Linux.

For people that are interested in test-driving this plugin with/for me, please contact me at [my first name] at cloudnexus dot NL.

I'll be keen on that Erik, I'll drop you an email.

Update:

Meanwhile I have a working proof of concept that allows you to add "dotnet core" to any given account as a package option, as well as SQL Server databases, and cPanel will provision the account automatically and set up all the things you need. Right now I'm working on cleaning up the proof of concept and making sure this is something that would run on a production environment in a stable manner.

@benny: perhaps it's a good idea for me to move this (and its discussions) to the cPanel dev forums?

Teasers: see attachment.

That looks very promising Erik! Nice work!! :D Any way I could give that a try? Also wondering, would you plan to add Let's Encrypt support to apps handling doman/subdomain roots?

Very impressive Erik! Great progress! I'd say some people may like to run PHP as well as dotnet but this is a brilliant step in the right direction. Keen to give it a go.

Hey all! We've created a room in our slack community for anyone that's interested Erik's work on this plugin, and he's looking for Beta users! Sign in to cPanel's slack community using go.cpanel.net/slack and then message me (bennyVasquez), or cPanelPhil, cPanelMegan, or cPanelLauren to be added to the private room.

Hey folks! It looks like this plugin might have been abandoned shortly after release. I'll keep the #3rdparty_nexuscore channel open for a little while longer on our slack server ( go.cpanel.net/slack ), but if the owners don't show back up I'll archive it.

Do you know if the project is still abandoned?

After a year since the last comment, I was hoping some more updates would have been posted here around the support of .NET/MsSQL for cPanel. The NexusCore project hasn't been updated since release almost 2 years ago. So very interested to hear what cPanel is thinking about the .NET and MsSQL services as I have a lot of customers after such services with cPanel.

Hi,

When cPanel can support/run asp.net core with Nginx? I've been waiting for this features too long. The Nexuscore plugin didn't support with Nginx and also no update from them anymore.

I hope so badly, that .net Core would be supported.

Official deprecation notice from Nexus Core in Q3 2021 - https://nexuscore.io/nexuscore-deprecation-notice/

cPanel team - please look at taking this on and getting .NET Core integrated

Muy buenas noches?.

Alguna manera de utilizar .NET en cpanel?.

Gracias.

C'mon guys when are you supporting asp.net Core, its really need it

These folks add docker support. Perhaps cpanel could add docker support natively. Then .net folks could run through cpanel. It is worth noting that as of this writing .Net Core has been replaced with .Net 5.0 and .Net 6.0, which means all future .Net development will run on linux servers.

Hello, everyone.

How would you envision this type of support being available within the cPanel product?

Would you manage the .NET applications through something like Application Manager (https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/software/application-manager/)?

Are you a server owner, cPanel user, or application developer?

If you have not already, please vote for this feature if it is something that you would find valuable. We'll continue to monitor and investigate.

I really think that a docker container is a good way to go. .Net development in generally has moved and continues to move developers towards microservices and Kubernetes.

If a docker container is used, then the user interface only needs a URL to an image repository, an image name, username, and password (if it is protected). Then being able to set startup arguments and ports is all that is required off the top of my head.

There are a few commands that could be used to download or display logs that would be useful.
