Continuous running background job in .NET 6 Console Application [Can run in a Docker Container]

#dotnet6 #consoleapplication #backgroundjob
Running a background job inside of a console application is challenging especially if it is running inside a docker container if you do not know the proper way to implement that. In this video, I walk through how to do it very easily using .NET 6 features. Hint, not using Console.ReadLine :)

Nice explanation :) Can you show an example in docker?

[@martinzazvorka3835]

Great. I will go and refactor now. :)

[@DotNetCoreCentral]

Thanks!

[@ashokk8888]

Will this if IIS goes to idle state?

[@dhanarajsalaimani400]

It works on my machine while debugging but after I host the application on aws ec2 the background service is not running. Any ideas? Thank you

[@DotNetCoreCentral]

Can you log into cloudwatch to see if it is getting any errors? Is it running on a Linux box?

[@NagechaO]

where is example of deploying on docker ???

[@vikramnoel1239]

Hi Bro, Could you please make a tutorial on Azure.

[@DotNetCoreCentral]

Sure will

[@btogkas1]

The problem in this example as far as i know is that you can only have one service since it needs to complete start async to continue to the next service

[@DotNetCoreCentral]

No, thats not correct, you can have multiple background job in a console application. Share me the code where you tried it and it did not work, I can help take a look.

[@btogkas1]

@@DotNetCoreCentral Yeah it works as you say, i have tested it out. There was a link i saw it in a Microsoft doc but cant find the link that said the opposite...
