How to get TcpServer ConnectingString ?

[RedEye-Developers]

var reelsTcpServer = builder.AddProject<OnlySwipe_Reels_TcpServer>("Reels-TcpServer");

engagementApi
    .WaitFor(reelsTcpServer)
    .WithReference(reelsTcpServer);

//Reels-TcpServer
_listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, _port);

it is possible to get TCP-Server connectionString using project name same like "config.getConnectingString("Postgres")" something like this ?

Tcp-Server is a console app.

i know about addConnectingString method, i am just asking they have any thing same like default "config.getConnectingString("Postgres")" or userApi.GetEndpoint("http") like this for tpc.

Did you read this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/fundamentals/networking-overview?

i have small doubts, when i build the aspire application to docker-compose the "Reels-TcpServer" connectingString looks like this "tcp://Reels-TcpServer:6000" right ?

after i run the Reels-TcpServer application inside docker, the docker dns will replace the Reels-TcpServer connectionString this "tcp://Reels-TcpServer:6000" to something like this : "tcp://127.0.0.1:6000" right ?

if it is right, i am planning to write logic like this :

when i run the application outside of the containerized application the TCP hostname be a IpAddress, when i take build using aspire to docker-compose, the TCP hostname be a application name : "Reels-TcpServer" so when i run that inside containerized application docker dns will automatically change the application hostname to IpAddress via DNS.

How experienced are you with tcp and network programming in general?

i am expecting something like, when i run the aspire application "Reels-TcpServer" hostname must be a IpAddress, when i take build using aspire to docker-compose the " "Reels-TcpServer" hostname must be a "Reels-TcpServer" in docker-compose file.

it is not possible let me change the homename manually in docker-compose file or let me try to find someother solutions.

You’re responsible for translating the host name into an ip address in your code. You can do that by using a dns client (to resolve host addresses) or by using some other logic (like hard coding the localhost to ip address mapping). This is what an http client does

oo ok got it, tanks for the quick replays.
