DNN Docker Container

This repository contains a Docker setup for running DotNetNuke (DNN) on a Windows Server Core container with ASP.NET 4.8.

This container create a default instance of DNN v9.13.7 if there is no content in the folder that is being mapped to c:/inetput/wwwroot. if you map an EXISTING dnn webroot to that folder, it will use that instance (instead of creating a clean installation)

Note: If using an exiting webroot, make sure the DB_CONNECTION_STRING matches your existing connection string as the startup process will update the web.config

Features

• DNN Version: 9.13.7
• ASP.NET Framework: 4.8
• Windows Server Core: ltsc2019
• SQL Server: 2019 Express
