Docker dotnet watch run error: Unable to bind to https://localhost:5000 on the IPv6 loopback interface

As the title indicates, i have a container that is unable to bind from host port to container port. I tried searching for similar issues, but have not found any related to using dotnet watch in a docker container since Microsoft introduced the microsoft/dotnet docker repo with dotnet watch built into the sdk image.

Any suggestions as to what i am doing wrong are much appreciated.

Dockerfile

FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.1.301-sdk as build
ENV DOTNET_USE_POLLING_FILE_WATCHER 1
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN dotnet restore
EXPOSE 5000-5001
ENTRYPOINT [ "dotnet", "watch", "run", "--no-restore"]

docker-compose.yml

version: "3"

services:

  esportapp:
    container_name: esportapp
    image: esportapp:dev
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Docker/dev.Dockerfile
    volumes:
      - esportapp.volume:/app
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "5001:5001"

volumes:
  esportapp.volume:

Complete error:

Just ran into this problem myself. I don't think dotnet watch run plays nicely with localhost type urls. Try setting your hosting url to https://0.0.0.0:5000 in your container.

In the dockerfile with:

ENTRYPOINT [ "dotnet", "watch", "run", "--no-restore", "--urls", "https://0.0.0.0:5000"]

Or in launchSettings.json like:

{
  "profiles": {
    "[Put your project name here]": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
        "DOTNET_USE_POLLING_FILE_WATCHER": "true"
      },
      "applicationUrl": "https://0.0.0.0:5000/"
    }
  }
}

Now to get it to automatically reload from within the container you have to use the polling file watcher. That's what the second environment variable is for. (This is pretty common, you've got to do this with webpack, angular, etc).

In your case, you need to change the esportsapp.volume to a directory on your host:

volumes:
  - ./:/app

That will map the /app volume in your container to the docker-compose directory. The problem you're facing is that the app is built in a volume on your project's default docker-compose network, so when you change a file in the source directory, it's not actually changing in that volume. With this fix, however, you'll run into the problem of the dotnet restore and dotnet watch inside the container changing your host's files. There's a fix for all of that, if you're interested...

My Usual .Net Core App Docker setup

To debug, run: docker-compose -f run.yml up --build

To build a release: docker-compose -f build.yml up --build

/project/run.Dockerfile                         # the docker container that will build and run "project" locally for debugging
/project/.dockerignore                          # speeds up container builds by excluding large directories like "packages" or "node_modules"

Directory.Build.props (put this in the same folder as your .csproj, keeps your dotnet watch run command from messing with the source directory on your host)

There's a simple solution, add the following two lines into your docker-compose.yml file, and the error will disappear.

    environment:
      - ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+;http://+;

Just wanted to share one other issue I ran recently while containerizing a set of projects even if everything is configured correctly. Hope might help someone else.

Very inconspicuous but some of projects had in Program.cs:

.ConfigureAppConfiguration((hostingContext, config) =>
{
    config.Sources.Clear();
    ...

Which removes all of the sources and ChainedConfigurationSource specifically that leads to the error above.
