WebApp Project

Overview

This project is a web application built using ASP.NET Core with Razor Pages. It runs inside a Docker container and interfaces with an API that connects to a NoSQL MongoDB database, also running in Docker containers. The application is configured for automatic deployment to Azure but can be configured to run in other environments.

Architecture

• WebApp Container: Hosts the ASP.NET Core web application with Razor Pages.
• API Container: Hosts the API that the web application communicates with.
• MongoDB Container: Hosts the NoSQL MongoDB database for data storage.

Features

• ASP.NET Core with Razor Pages: Provides the web interface.
• Dockerized Deployment: Ensures consistent environments for running the application.
• NoSQL MongoDB: Efficiently stores and manages data.
• Auto-deployment to Azure: Facilitates continuous integration and delivery.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Azure account (for deployment)
• .NET Core SDK

Getting Started

Local Development

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/your-project.git
   cd your-project

2. Build Docker Images:

4. Adjust the API and Mongo Addresses: Located in the API.cs and appsettings.json files

5. Access the WebApp: Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080

Deployment to Azure

The application is set up for automatic deployment to Azure. You can use the following steps to configure Azure deployment:

1. Deploy to Azure: The project uses GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Ensure your repository is connected to your Azure account and the pipeline is configured correctly.

2. Access the Deployed WebApp: An example web application is available at https://waqqlyjb02.azurewebsites.net/

Configuration

To run the application in environments other than Azure, you may need to adjust the configuration settings:

• API Connection String: Update the API connection string in the appsettings.json file.
• MongoDB Connection String: Update the MongoDB connection string in the appsettings.json file.
