2. Run the following command to build an image of this app:

podman build -t podman-dotnet-poc .

Verify it was created successfully with the following command:

podman images

3. Run the following command to create, but not start, a container with the image from the previous step:

podman create -p 8080:80 localhost/podman-dotnet-poc:latest

Verify it was created successfully with the following command:

podman ps --all

4. Start the container with the following command:

podman start [container ID from previous command]

Verify the container is running with the following command:

podman ps

Note: You can combine steps 3 and 4 into one command:

podman run -d -p 8080:80 localhost/podman-dotnet-poc:latest
