Nextended.Aspire.Hosting.AspireUI 10.1.32

Nextended.Aspire.Hosting.AspireUI

AspireUI — the visual AppHost builder — as a resource inside your own Aspire stack, with an optional pre-seeded admin user and a starter stack built from your project paths.

Runs AspireUI as an Aspire resource.

📖 Documentation: English · Deutsch  |  🧪 Runnable sample: AspireUI.AppHost

Run AspireUI — the visual .NET Aspire AppHost builder — as a resource inside your own Aspire stack.

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.AddAspireUI()
    .WithAdminUser("admin", "change-me-please")
    .WithSeedStack("My App", builder.AppHostDirectory);

builder.Build().Run();

This adds the ghcr.io/fgilde/aspireui container with:

• an HTTP endpoint for the web UI,
• the host Docker socket mounted, so stacks you build in AspireUI can run,
• a named volume for AspireUI's data (stacks, settings, users).

API

The Docker-socket mount gives the container control over the host Docker daemon — run it only on a trusted host. Seeding is first-run only: once AspireUI has any user, the admin/stack seed is skipped.
