How to self-host ASP.NET 5 MVC6 application

问题

Just started learning ASP.NET 5 / MVC 6 I'm curious about self-hosting such an app outside of IIS - as a Windows service. Should I be using TopShelf for that, like it was the case with OWIN/Katana apps, or does ASP.NET 5 provide some built-in self-hosting (as a service) options via a NuGet package?

You can use the Kestrel library for self-hosting. Add dependency to the library in the project.json file:

"dependencies": {
    "EntityFramework.Commands": "7.0.0-rc1-final",
    // Dependencies deleted for brevity.
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0-rc1-final"
}

Then scecify this command for Kestrel:

"commands": {
    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel"
}

You can start it by command line from the folder with your MVC project:

dnx web

Please, notify that dnvm must be runned before.

All ASP.NET Core applications are self-hosted.

Yes you read it right!

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .AddCommandLine(args)
            .AddEnvironmentVariables(prefix: "ASPNETCORE_")
            .Build();

        var host = new WebHostBuilder()
            .UseConfiguration(config)
            .UseKestrel()
            .UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
            .UseIISIntegration() //// Here IIS integration is optional
            .UseStartup()
            .Build();

        host.Run();
    }
}
