I am trying to run my timer trigger azure function sample using Docker. It works fine in the visual studio both in debug and release mode. But when use docker
docker run -d -p 8080:80 testdockercors
The application starts and it says the below message, but my timer trigger azure function is not running.
Hosting environment: Production
Content root path: /app
Now listening on: http://[::]:80
Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down..
But the timer trigger works fine, when running from visual studio. Please find my docker file.
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1-buster AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["Testdockercors/Testdockercors.csproj", "Testdockercors/"]
RUN dotnet restore "Testdockercors/Testdockercors.csproj"
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/Testdockercors"
RUN dotnet build "Testdockercors.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build
FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "Testdockercors.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish
FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENV AzureWebJobsScriptRoot=/app
ENV AzureWebJobsStorage="UseDevelopmentStorage=true"
When I change the environment AzureWebJobsStorage value to an existing azure storage connection string it works in docker too. But i want to use the storage that is part of docker, not one available in azure.
I fixed the issue by changing the value of AzureWebJobsStorage as below, appending DevelopmentStorageProxyUri=http://host.docker.internal to environment did the trick.
ENV AzureWebJobsStorage="UseDevelopmentStorage=true;DevelopmentStorageProxyUri=http://host.docker.internal"
