'published Blazor server app does not provide css in wwwroot folder on linux

I have a blazor server app that I want to run on a raspberry pi. So far it is all good, I installed it as a service and the service is running like it should. I published the solution to srv/myApp and I have a .service config for it. The only thing missing is the serving of the wwwroot folder. When I open the app all the styles are missing. I have UseStaticFiles() enabled. When I run it locally or just build the project with dotnet run I get the styles from wwwroot. The wwwroot folder does exist in the published folder, though. It somehow just does not make it to my browser. I wanted to avoid running everything in nginx or something as I want to use the self hosting features.

Does anybody see what I am missing here? This is the project, if someone wants to take a look: https://github.com/modmoto/Deploynator

Ok, i finally found my issue, not all too firm with services on linux. What was missing was the following entry in my service file:

WorkingDirectory=/srv/Deploynator

So my complete .service file looks like this now:

[Unit]
Description=Deploynator service

[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/srv/Deploynator/Deploynator
SyslogIdentifier=Deploynator
WorkingDirectory=/srv/Deploynator

User=pi

Environment=DOTNET_ROOT=/opt/dotnet
Environment="ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://0.0.0.0:5000/"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hope that this helps someone some day =)

If you use a program such as Supervisor to drive your service, be sure to set the working directory
