WebHost

Nuget

Nuget

Dosaic.Hosting.WebHost is the core package that allows dotnet dev's to use the dosaic web host and dosaic plugins.

This package is mandatory, without it you can't use any plugins

Installation

To install the nuget package follow these steps:

dotnet add package Dosaic.Hosting.Generator # this is required so the web host can discover & load the plugins
dotnet add package Dosaic.Hosting.WebHost

or add as package reference to your .csproj

<PackageReference Include="Dosaic.Hosting.Generator" Version="" />
<PackageReference Include="Dosaic.Hosting.WebHost" Version="" />

Rewrite the Entrypoint Program.cs to have following code:

using Dosaic.Hosting.WebHost;
PluginWebHostBuilder.RunDefault(Dosaic.Generated.DosaicPluginTypes.All);

Config files and ENV vars

Dosaic will try to load config files and values in the following order

1. appsettings.json

2. appsettings.yaml

3. appsettings.yml

4. appsettings.*.json

5. appsettings.*.yaml

6. appsettings.*.yml

7. appsettings.secrets.yml

8. appsettings.*.secrets.yml 9ENV variables

NOTE: All settings (does not matter which file extension) will be ordered by node length. And the secret files will be loaded as last (except the environment variables).

Example:

1. appsettings.yaml

2. appsettings.api.yaml

3. appsettings.api.host.yaml

4. appsettings.secrets.yaml

5. apssettings.api.secrets.yaml

6. appsettings.api.host.secrets.yaml

7. ENV Variables

File names must always start with appsettings or they will be ignored!

Nested settings use _ to build their hierarchy as ENV variables

host:
  urls: http://+:5300 # optional, default is 8080;separate multiple urls with ","

becomes

HOST_URLS=http://+:5300 # optional, default is 8080;separate multiple urls with ","

General settings

Configure your config file with these properties

host:
  urls: http://+:5300 # optional, default is 8080;separate multiple urls with ","
  maxRequestSize: 8388608 # optional, default is 8 MB

or as ENV variables

HOST_URLS=http://+:5300 # optional, default is 8080;separate multiple urls with ","
HOST_MAXREQUESTSIZE=8388608 # optional, default is 8 MB

Logging

Configure your appsettings.logging.yml with these properties

serilog:
  minimumLevel: Debug # or Warn or Info
  override:
    System: Error # or Warning or Information
    Microsoft: Error # or Warning or Information

or as ENV variables

SERIOLOG_minimumLevel=Debug
SERIOLOG_OVERRIDE_SYSTEM=Error
SERIOLOG_OVERRIDE_MICROSOFT=Error

Usage

Rewrite your entrypoint Program.cs to have following code:

Dosaic.Hosting.WebHostPluginWebHostBuilder.RunDefault(Dosaic.Generated.DosaicPluginTypes.All);

Now you can add additional plugins as nuget packages to your project and configure them via config files/settings and/or in your web host plugin
