Get file via IFileProvider from systemctl (Ubuntu 20)

Question

User-1035552022 posted

Why can't IFileProvider get files located in wwwroot when the application is running under systemctl?

  var localpath = _fileProvider.GetDirectoryContents(@"/wwwroot");
            foreach (var item in localpath)
            {
                _logger.LogInformation($@"localpath:{ item.PhysicalPath}");

if the application is run as dotnet <appName>.dll then the files are found

You probably did not set the working folder in the  systemctl exec script
