Deploying eShop with Aspire fully containerized on Docker Desktop

[rickbussi]

Hello,

I’m currently working with eShop + Aspire and I’d like to validate an approach for a fully containerized deployment on Docker Desktop, mainly for learning purposes.

Locally, everything works great:

• Aspire .NET services running on Windows
• Some infrastructure services running in Docker Desktop

Great job to the team, the local developer experience is excellent 👍

I’ve seen the official deployment guide for Azure:
https://deepwiki.com/dotnet/eShop/7.3-azure-deployment
However, I can’t use Azure at the moment.

Before that, I’d like to deploy all eShop services as containers, similar to what was possible with eShopOnContainers in the past.

I followed the Aspire tutorials, including:
https://aspire.dev/get-started/deploy-first-app/?lang=csharp

Using Aspire.Hosting.Docker and the aspire deploy command, I’m able to generate a docker-compose.yaml and deploy all services successfully to Docker Desktop.

The web app starts, but several things don’t work correctly, in particular: Authentication / login using the identity-api.

I’ve been trying to adjust the Aspire AppHost configuration (URLs, HTTP, HTTPS, etc.), but I haven’t been able to get everything working properly.

👉 My question:
Is there an official or recommended approach to deploy eShop with Aspire as fully containerized services on Docker Desktop, with all services working correctly (including Identity / authentication), without using Azure?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or shared experiences.
