Docker images: Unable to configure HTTPS endpoint

[D4sh12]

Following the README file, everything works fine, but the main services like catalog, ordering, basket, etc., didn't worked due to HTTPS config exception. Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to configure HTTPS endpoint. No server certificate was specified, and the default developer certificate could not be found or is out of date. To generate a developer certificate run 'dotnet dev-certs https'. To trust the certificate (Windows and macOS only) run 'dotnet dev-certs https --trust'.

Any ideas?

[mbehnasr]

I have same problem and I don't how fix that my os is ubuntu22

[JuliusKoronciCH]

this is a massive pain based on chatgpt the kestrel certificate and password need to be an env var I tried on my mac and also on windows

[BardiaYaghmaie]

this should be fixed

[JuliusKoronciCH]

let me pull again but I checked out the repo 2 days ago and I dont see any commits since

[JuliusKoronciCH]

@BardiaYaghmaie after some tinkering this works when running from visual studio as it does some additional magic but running docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml up -d is missing a few things so I would recommend updating the docker compose overrides and the documentation ..like the hardcoded windows paths and the fact that rider or just VS Code are not an option make it hard to use ..I had to switch from my mac to my windows machine to get it working

[mbehnasr]

Did you find any solution regarding the volumes set in docker-compose.override? I can't find 'usersecrets' and 'Https'. I can't find these two.

[JuliusKoronciCH]

@mbehnasr for db services I had to add - POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust

  for the volumes on my mac its
    volumes:
  - ~/.microsoft/usersecrets:/home/app/.microsoft/usersecrets:ro
  - ~/.microsoft/devcerts:/home/app/.aspnet/https:ro
  
  but ask AI it helps
  
  this will still not solve the issues with https follow this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/docker-https?view=aspnetcore-8.0 

[JuliusKoronciCH]

this one worked for me and the diff is that visual studio configure and runs with the correct certs while otherwise you need to generate your certs with a password amd mount the location and also tell dotnet where to find them and whats the password dotnet dev-certs https -ep ./certs/aspnetapp.pfx -p SuperSecretPassword

shopping.web: environment: - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development - ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=8080 - ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=8081 - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/aspnetapp.pfx - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password=SuperSecretPassword - ApiSettings__GatewayAddress=http://yarpapigateway:8080 depends_on: - yarpapigateway ports: - "6005:8080" - "6065:8081" volumes: - ./certs:/https/

Hello there,

I had the same problem with macOS M2 chip system, fixed the issue using given information under the ASP.NET documentation Docker Compose with HTTPS topic. Link for the documentation topic In summary it's saying for macOS:

Generate certificate and configure local machine:

dotnet dev-certs https -ep ${HOME}/.aspnet/https/aspnetapp.pfx -p $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$ dotnet dev-certs https --trust

_dotnet dev-certs https --trust is only supported on macOS and Windows. You need to trust certificates on Linux in the way that is supported by your distribution. It is likely that you need to trust the certificate in your browser.

In the preceding commands, replace $CREDENTIAL_PLACEHOLDER$ with a password.

Create a docker-compose.debug.yml file with the following content:

version: '3.4'

services: webapp: image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/samples:aspnetapp ports: - 80 - 443 environment: - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development - ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+:443;http://+:80 - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password=password - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/aspnetapp.pfx volumes: - ~/.aspnet/https:/https:ro

the password specified in the docker compose file must match the password used for the certificate.

Start the container with ASP.NET Core configured for HTTPS: docker-compose -f "docker-compose.yml" up -d

Also its my docker_compose.yaml file for an example:

services:
  catalogdb:
    image: postgres
    container_name: catalogdb
    environment: 
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass
      - POSTGRES_DB=CatalogDb
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - postgres_catalog:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  catalog.api:
    image: catalog.api
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Services/Catalog/Catalog.API/Dockerfile
    environment:
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
      - ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=8080
      - ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORTS=8081
      - ConnectionStrings__Database=Server=catalogdb;Port=5432;Database=CatalogDb;User Id=postgres;Password=pass;Include Error Detail=true
      - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/aspnetapp.pfx
      - ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password=useyourpassword
    depends_on:
      - catalogdb
    ports:
      - "6000:8080"
      - "6060:8081"
    volumes:
      - /Users/<youruserpath>/.microsoft/usersecrets:/home/app/.microsoft/usersecrets:ro
      - ~/.aspnet/https:/https:ro
