How to deploy .NET on HostKB

Free deployment from Git: connect repo → build → deploy → HTTPS URL.

  1. Create a free HostKB account and open a project.
  2. Create an application with source type Git Repository (deploy from GitHub guide).
  3. Add a Dockerfile (or use Railpack when available) so the platform can build your .NET app.
  4. Set environment variables, then click Build and Deploy.
  5. Open your app URL and attach a custom domain when you go live.

.NET Dockerfile tip

Use a multi-stage Dockerfile (sdk build → aspnet runtime). Set ASPNETCORE_URLS to listen on http://+:8080 (or your chosen port) and EXPOSE that port.
