Auto Devops - Dotnet Production deployment

How to Use GitLab
1

Production stage stuck

  • I am trying to deploy a Dotnet app through gitlab.com. I have specified a Dockerfile and it builds fine. I am not specifying a .gitlab-ci.yml and have enabled auto-DevOps

  • In the production stage logs I see this and it fails after the timeout

Deploying new stable release…
Release “production” does not exist. Installing it now.

  • In the k8s pod logs I see this

Although the Dotnet App seems to deploy and startup fine, I think some sort of health check is being performed on 5000 I don’t have any API defined on the root and so it returns a 404

When I run the app locally as a Docker run I don’t see the :5000 calls being invoked and so I think this is done by gitllab or k8s (I am new to both by the way!)

Assuming the issue is the 404, is there a way to override the health check URL to say - :5000/health through any environment variable?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks,
Arun

Hi All,

As a quick fix, I changed the health check URL to / and that seems to have worked and the pod has been deployed. But it would be nice to know how to change health check endpoint.

Thanks,
Arun
