title: appSettings.json for .NET Core app in Docker?
body: <p>I am running a .net core app in a docker container. Here is my docker file (just to build a dev environment):</p>
  
  <pre><code>FROM microsoft/dotnet:1.0.1-sdk-projectjson 
  ENV ASPNET_ENV Development
  COPY bin/Debug/netcoreapp1.0/publish/ /root/
  EXPOSE 5000/tcp
  ENTRYPOINT dotnet /root/AVP.WebApi.dll
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have an appSettings.Development.json file in the /publish/ folder. If I build and run this Docker file, I end up with a strange issue where the .NET app can't find the appsettings it needs to start (they're in the appSettings.Development.json file). </p>
  
  <p>I have confirmed that from the command line in windows if I run dotnet publish/AVP.WebAPI.dll the app throws the same exceptions for missing configuration settings. However if I cd to /publish and run dotnet AVP.WebAPI.dll the app starts and runs just fine. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how to change my docker file so it will run the app properly with the appSettings.Development.json values? (I've also tried to run the app with all the values copied into the regular appSettings.json files with no luck)</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried running a the COPY command to / instead of /root and doing dotnet AVP.WebApi.dll as the entry point, but that results in the project being unable to find dependencies. </p>
