Where to configure it

.NET is configured per application. Open your host, go to an application's Configure application > Technologies > .NET, enable it, and select the runtime version. Saving updates the host YAML, provisions the runtime, and wires up the Nginx reverse proxy in front of your app.

dotnet.listen_port The local port your app listens on, which Nginx forwards to. Defaults to 5000.
