1. The document discusses running ASP.NET 5 applications on a Raspberry Pi 2 and using Docker. 2. It provides steps for installing .NET Core, ASP.NET 5, and other prerequisites on the Raspberry Pi, and includes examples of building and running a simple ASP.NET app. 3. It also covers using Docker to build an image for an ASP.NET app, including defining a Dockerfile and building/running the image to host the app in a container.

25. About the GPIOs
General purpose input/output
• GPIO numbering vs. physical/pin numbering
• 2 x output 5V
• 2 x output 3.3V
• 8 x ground
• 26 x GPIO
• (2x ID EEPROM)

26. About the GPIOs

27. Working with the GPIOs
• Calling the Raspian native API to connect the GPIOs
• Using existing C# libraries to access the pins:
• Raspberry.System
• https://github.com/raspberry-sharp/raspberry-sharp
• Raspberry.IO.GeneralPurpose
• https://github.com/raspberry-sharp/raspberry-sharp-io
• RPI.GPIO
• https://github.com/fatihboy/RPI.GPIO

28. Good to know: Be carefully
• Read carefully the GPIO specification
• Wrong connected pins can kill the sensor or the PI
• Read carefully the sensor specification
• Be carefully with external power

29. Raspberry.System
Getting common information about the PI:

30. Raspberry.IO.GeneralPurpose
• Includes drivers to access the GPIO Pins
• Includes Pin connections
• Includes conversions between pin numberings
• ConnectorPin: Pin using physical pin numbers
• ProcessorPin: Pin using GPIO pin numbering
• Includes methods to work with the pins

31. Simple blinking LED

32. Good to know: Cheat with node.js
• node.js is pretty cool on the PI 
• It‘s easy to write
• It runs fast
• many GPIO examples written in Javascript
• node.js is a pretty awesome tool to tryout things, you want to
implement with C#

33. ASP.NET 5 on
Docker

34. Docker
• Lightweight Virtualization
• Based on Linux Hosts (Windows is coming soon)
• Use of VirtualBox to run the Linux Host on Windows
• Machine = the Host
• Image = Configuration
• Container = a running image

35. Docker on Windows
• Installing boot2docker (deprecated) or Docker Toolbox
• Preparing a bash to work with Docker
• Setup the environment variables (HOME and PATH)
• Configure the bash using git-bash

36. Docker Machines
List all available machines:
$ docker-machine ls
Create a new machine
$ docker-mashine create testmachine
Get the IP address or the config of the machine
$ docker-mashine ip testmachine
$ docker-machine config testmachine
Start a machine
$ docker-machine start testmachine

37. Docker Images
List all available images
$ docker images
Get an image from the Docker Hub
$ docker pull hello-world
Starts and run an image (pulls the image if needed)
$ docker run hello-world

38. Prepare ASP.NET for docker
• Create a new ASP.NET Project
• Add the web server Kestrel to the commands:
NuGet Packages:
"Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting": "1.0.0-beta7",
"Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0-beta7“
Command:
"kestrel": "Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting --server
Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel --server.urls http://localhost:5001"

39. Define the Image for ASP.NET
Add a „Dockerfile“ to the project next to the project.json:
FROM microsoft/aspnet:latest
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
RUN ["dnu", "restore"]
EXPOSE 5001
ENTRYPOINT ["dnx", "kestrel"]

40. Build and run the Image
• Move to the project folder using the bash
• Building the image:
$ docker build -t guj/aspnet5 .
• Check whether the image is registerd:
$ Docker images
• Running the image:
$ docker run -i -t -p 5001:5001 guj/aspnet5

41. Calling the ASP.NET Web
• Call http://<machines ip>:5001/

42. Passing environment variables
• Pass any argument as environment variable with docker run:
$ docker run VARNAME1=OneValue VARNAME2=AnotherValue
• Running the web in production mode:
$ docker run -i -t -p 5001:5001 guj/aspnet5 ASPNET_ENV=Production
• Running the web in staging mode:
$ docker run -i -t -p 5001:5001 guj/aspnet5 ASPNET_ENV=Staging
• Running the web in development mode:
$ docker run -i -t -p 5001:5001 guj/aspnet5 ASPNET_ENV=Development

43. Why using Docker?
• Fast and lightweight virtualisation
• Composing infrastructure for microservice applications
• Fast created on the dev machines
• Easily distributed images to other devs
• Fast and easy deployed to production machines
