Deploying ASP.NET Core to Linux using Octopus

The blog post by Michael Richardson discusses the process of deploying an ASP.NET Core application to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server using Octopus Deploy, following a demonstration by Scott Hanselman. It highlights the challenges faced by .NET developers unfamiliar with Linux and provides a detailed technical guide on setting up the necessary components, such as Mono, NGINX, and Supervisor, while emphasizing the importance of using official documentation to counteract the rapid obsolescence of technical procedures. The post also mentions the use of Octopus features like JSON Configuration Variables and Variable Substitution for configuring deployment settings and underscores the future direction of Octopus Deploy, which aims to eliminate the need for Mono and scripting by leveraging .NET Core for cross-platform deployments. The author invites feedback from users deploying .NET Core applications to Linux, emphasizing the continuous improvement of deployment processes.
