Hi Matthews,

PowerServer 2021 is just standard C# REST API project for .NET Core 3.1.  There is nothing special or different you need to do to deploy it to Linux than any other C# REST API project.

I recommend you take a look at Microsoft documentation how to set up Apache Web server and Kestrel on Linux.  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/linux-apache?view=aspnetcore-5.0

Please note this is early beta version with very limited documentation.  In the final release we will have an installation and deployment guide that will walk you through some common scenarios.

Best regards,
Armeen

On the link recommended by Armeen, on the left, right above "Linux with Apache" there's "Linux with Nginx". Nginx is recommended compared to Apache.

"Nginx is event-driven, asynchronous, non-blocking and single threaded (one master process + worker processes). This allows nginx to be manage resources more efficiently compared to thread-based models (like Apache)."



"Kestrel is fairly new and doesn't yet have the full suite of security features that you might find in a more mature server. It's recommended to run IIS, Nginx, or Apache in front of it set as a reverse proxy to handle incoming connections. The connections are then passed off to Kestrel after preliminary handling. Because of Kestrels young age, it doesn't have a full defense against attacks which includes, but isn't limited to, appropriate timeouts, size limits, and concurrent connection limits."



So I'd advice to use NGINX instead of Apache or Kestrel if possible.

PowerServer code is 100% C# managed code running on top of .NET Core so it should perform similarly regardless of OS. I guess it is some config issue.

Hi Mathews,

We have documentation on how to publish an ASP.NET Core application on Linux. You may follow the instructions at the following document link: https://docs.appeon.com/snapdevelop2019r3/Publish/index.html#publishing-and-hosting-an-aspnet-core-application-on-linux.

And if you want to use Linux as the Web Server, that’s also possible. You can use Nginx or Apache.  I believe the deployment steps are the same as on Windows.  

Best regards, Julie
