I created an asp.net core on .Net core and planned to publish it on a Windows server. I don't want to install anything on the server so I want the application be self contained.
I selected the menu "Build-> Publish MyApp" and then created File system based method. It generated the following files in the folder and I copied it to the server. However, how to run it on the server which doesn't have .Net core installed?

Self-contained Application Self-contained applications are applications which include . NET Core runtime when we publish it. It can run on a machine which does not have . NET Core runtime installed.
A self-contained application consists of a single, installable bundle that contains your application and a copy of the JRE needed to run the application. When the application is installed, it behaves the in the same way as any native application.
.NET Core 1.0-wise solution:
1) Open the project.json
file and remove type = "platform"
from dependency of netcoreapp1.0
:
"frameworks": {
"netcoreapp1.0": {
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"version": "1.0.1"
}
}
}
}
2) Specify runtimes which you want to target (.NET Core Runtime IDentifier catalog):
"runtimes": {
"win7-x64": {},
"osx.10.10-x64": {},
"ubuntu.14.04-x64": {}
}
3) Run dotnet restore
in Command Prompt at the project or solution folder level.
4) Build:
dotnet build -r win7-x64
dotnet build -r osx.10.10-x64
dotnet build -r ubuntu.14.04-x64
5) Publish:
dotnet publish -c release -r win7-x64
dotnet publish -c release -r osx.10.10-x64
dotnet publish -c release -r ubuntu.14.04-x64
In folder %ProjectFolder%\bin\Release\netcoreapp1.0\
will be a folder for each runtime you published for.
