how to run Aspose.Cells.GridWeb in docker
Docker Guide
Prerequisites
Ensure you have Docker installed on your machine. You can download and install Docker from the official Docker website.
Step 1: Create a Dockerfile
Create a file named Dockerfile in your project directory. The Dockerfile should contain instructions on how to build your Docker image.
Step 2:Write Dockerfile for GridWeb
Here is a sample Dockerfile for GridWeb demo with ASP.NET Core application:
# Use the official .NET6.0 runtime as a parent image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0-focal AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
# Use the official .NET6.0 SDK as build enviroment
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0-focal AS build
WORKDIR /src
#we shall use .net6.0 project
COPY ["GridWeb.Demo.NET6.0.csproj", "."]
RUN dotnet restore "./GridWeb.Demo.NET6.0.csproj"
# Copy everything else and build
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/."
RUN dotnet build "GridWeb.Demo.NET6.0.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build
# Publish the app
FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "GridWeb.Demo.NET6.0.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish
# Final stage/image
FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
# if you want display better like in windows ,you need to install kinds of fonts in /usr/share/fonts/
# then the application can parse and render the fonts which is used in the spread sheet file
# here we don't provide extra fonts resource
# Install Fonts because the SDK image contains very few fonts. The command copies font files from local to docker image. Make sure you have a local “fonts” directory that contains all the fonts you need to install. In this example, the local “fonts” directory is put in the same directory as the Dockerfile.
# COPY fonts/* /usr/share/fonts/
# the basic file path which contains the spread sheet files
RUN mkdir -p /app/wb
# the cache file path for GridWeb
RUN mkdir -p /app/filecache
# the cache picture path for GridWeb
RUN mkdir -p /app/piccache
COPY wwwroot/wb/*.xlsx /app/wb/
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
# set the start command for the docker image
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "GridWeb.Demo.NET6.0.dll"]
Step 3: Building the Docker Image
Build the Docker Image: From the terminal, execute the following command to build your Docker image:
docker build -t gridweb-demo-net6 .
you can replace gridweb-demo-net6 with the name you want to give your Docker image.
Step 4: Running a Docker Container
Once the image is built, you can run a container using the following command:
docker run -d -p 24262:80 --name gridweb-demo-container gridweb-demo-net6
Explanation of Docker Run Command Options -d: Run the container in detached mode (in the background). -p 24262:80: Map port 80 in the container to port 24262 on the host machine. –name gridweb-demo-container: Assign a name to the container.
Step 5: Verify the Container is Running
To check if your container is running, use the following command:
docker ps
This will list all running containers. You should see your container listed along with its name and status.
Step 6: Access The Web Application
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:24262/. You should see your application running.
you will see the general develop guide for GridWeb
click demo in the page, you can do edit operation for the spread sheet file.
Additional Commands
Stopping the Container
To stop a running container, use the following command:
docker stop gridweb-demo-container
Removing a Container
To remove a stopped container, use the following command:
docker rm gridweb-demo-container
Removing a Image
To remove an image, use the following command:
docker rmi gridweb-demo-net6
