Cloning and Building this project

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• .NET 8 SDK: Download and install from the official .NET website.
• IDE of Choice: Preferably Visual Studio for its robust support for .NET development. Alternatively, you can use Visual Studio Code or any other IDE that supports .NET.
• Docker: Preferablly Docker Desktop, but any installation of Docker should work fine.

Customisations

• Custom Options handler and types (ICustomOptions).
• Customised HostingExtensions.cs (provides new ConfigureServices(), InitializeDatabase() and ConfigurePipeline() methods).
• Custom WebApplicationBuilder extensions to provide configuration of IdentityServer and Redis.
• Cleaned up Config.cs into SeedConfig.cs
• Added Redis and SQL Server resources to the Aspire AppHost project for use in the IdentityServer application.
• Endpoint routing with MediatR.

Steps to Clone and Build the Project

Important

If you do not already have the latest version of the Redis and MSSQL container images, it will take longer for them to provision, resulting in the IdentityServer project failing. Allow the SQL and Redis images to load, then if necessary, restart the Aspire solution.
