Let’s use the base Paketo Builder and the pack CLI to build an ASP.NET app
as a runnable container image.
Clone the Paketo samples repository and navigate to the source code for the sample ASP.NET app.
git clone https://github.com/paketo-buildpacks/samples \ && cd samples/dotnet-core/aspnet
From the sample app directory, use the pack CLI to build an app image.
pack build paketo-demo-app --builder paketobuildpacks/builder-jammy-base

Successfully built image paketo-demo-app
Once the build finishes, you’ll see that the resulting image is on your Docker daemon.
Let’s start an instance of our app and interact with it.
Run the app image with Docker. It will receive incoming requests on localhost:8080.
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e PORT=8080 paketo-demo-app
Wait a few moments for the app to start. Then, use curl to make a request.
