How to deploy .Net Core WebAPI and React JS application to single Docker container

Question

We are developing an application where UI is developed using ReactJS and APIs are developed on .Net Core framework. ReactJS application will be deployed on Nginx. WebAPIs will also use NGinx for reverse proxy.

I am trying to write a script for generating docker container for the entire application.

Docker recommends to use separate container in such situations and use docker compose for handling dependencies between the containers. But our application have a reporting feature in which reports generated by APIs are stored on virtual directory accessible by Web application. For this reason we were thinking to have single container for whole application.

Will having a single container cause any issue? Can we run Nginx and Kestrel in one docker container using shell command file?

You should listen to Docker's recommendation on this issue. I was of the exact same mentality for an API/Angular app. I would look into using the volumes declaration in docker-compose to create symlinks in each container that map to the same directory on the host machine. This was my solution to deal with logs from microservices
