I am wondering whether it is possible to deploy a .net core web app developed in Visual Studio, to Raspberry Pi, and if so , how ?
I am using VS2017 Community edition on Windows 10. I have created a new .Net Core project using the Web App option. If I build and run, I correctly get the default web page opening up on the local browser. So far, fine. I then publish to a folder and copy all my files using WinSCP to a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu Server 16.04-arm.
Yes, Microsoft are doing a great job in opening up the .net sources and building their capability across platforms, sadly not arm as yet but Im sure now Softbank own Arm and companies like Samsung are joining the party, we will see a great future for .net hopefully taking over Sun/Java. Anyway, meantime the ubunutu Pi obviously is an arm so not directly supported yet so it has a dotnet core installation from github https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/samples/RaspberryPiInstructions.md and followed their instructions to install 2.0.0-beta-001620-00 onto the Pi and confirmed all okay by running dotnet on the Pi, and indeed all was well.
However, what is the next steps...?
I cant seem to publish to ftp . Is there a bug? the connection is verified okay and the publish folder is correctly created (yes I have correct vsftpd config) on the Pi, but no files are copied over?
How do I publish my .net core web app from VS2017 to the Pi please?
