Dark theme TSX viewer — original text rendered verbatim (decoded at runtime).

I'll walk you through the complete process of Dockering an ASP.NET Core application, from basic setup to advanced configurations.

## Prerequisites

- Docker installed on your machine
- ASP.NET Core application
- Docker Hub account (optional, for pushing images)

## Basic Docker Setup

### 1. Create a Dockerfile

Create a `Dockerfile` in your project root:

```dockerfile
# Base image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443

# Build image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY
Example: Dockerfile (excerpt)
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443
Example: docker-compose.yml (excerpt)
services:
  webapp:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
      target: development
    ports:
      - "5000:80"
