# Configure environment and secrets for ASP.NET Core

## Summary
Configuration and secrets for a ASP.NET Core app on Ample. Verified on ASP.NET Core: an --env value delivered encrypted and reported as present without being echoed (secret=set). Build and start: `dotnet publish -c Release -o out` in the builder, then `dotnet .dll` on the dotnet-10 template with `ASPNETCORE_URLS` bound to `PORT`.

## Prerequisites
- A ASP.NET Core project (dotnet publish -c Release -o out in the builder, then dotnet .dll on the dotnet-10 template with ASPNETCORE_URLS bound to PORT)
- An Ample account token with servers:write

## Workflow Steps
### Build and start
`dotnet publish -c Release -o out` in the builder, then `dotnet .dll` on the dotnet-10 template with `ASPNETCORE_URLS` bound to `PORT`; the server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.

### Pass values on deploy
Use `--env KEY=value` (repeatable) or `--env-file`; values are encrypted at rest and reused on redeploys. Declare names only in ample.toml.

Command: `ample deploy . --name  --public --env MY_SECRET=...`

### Verify
Fetch the live URL and `/p/configuration-secrets` on the example; on failure read the build and runtime logs.

Command: `ample logs  --kind build`

## Tested Configuration
- **Template**: dotnet-10
- **Runtime**: dotnet
- **Size**: s-1vcpu-1gb
- **Build**: `dotnet publish -c Release -o out`
- **Start**: `ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://0.0.0.0:$PORT dotnet out/$(basename $(ls out/*.runtimeconfig.json | head -n 1) .runtimeconfig.json).dll`

## Limitations
- Verified on the dotnet-10 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; other sizes and ASP.NET Core major versions are not verified.
- Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.

## Cost Estimate
- **Currency**: USD
- **Monthly Amount**: 5.0
- **Basis**: Size prices from pricing.toml (loaded by the API) at build revision 1ac5595375130d45290090e82ed0f554ccd45405-dirty
