How to create a self contained .Net core application?
I created an asp.net core on .Net core and planned to publish it on a Windows server. I don't want to install anything on the server so I want the application be self contained.
I selected the menu "Build-> Publish MyApp" and then created File system based method. It generated the following files in the folder and I copied it to the server. However, how to run it on the server which doesn't have .Net core installed?

.NET Core 1.0-wise solution:
1) Open the project.json file and remove type = "platform" from dependency of netcoreapp1.0:
"frameworks": {
"netcoreapp1.0": {
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"version": "1.0.1"
}
}
}
}
2) Specify runtimes which you want to target (.NET Core Runtime IDentifier catalog):
"runtimes": {
"win7-x64": {},
"osx.10.10-x64": {},
"ubuntu.14.04-x64": {}
}
3) Run dotnet restore in Command Prompt at the project or solution folder level.
4) Build:
dotnet build -r win7-x64
dotnet build -r osx.10.10-x64
dotnet build -r ubuntu.14.04-x64
5) Publish:
dotnet publish -c release -r win7-x64
dotnet publish -c release -r osx.10.10-x64
dotnet publish -c release -r ubuntu.14.04-x64
In folder %ProjectFolder%\bin\Release\netcoreapp1.0\ will be a folder for each runtime you published for.

It's worth also reading the official article about Application Deployment

Edit the .csproj file and specify the RuntimeIdentifier under property group for windows,ubuntu,osx.
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
<RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64;osx.10.10-x64;ubuntu.14.04-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
</PropertyGroup>
Than save and publish the application for different target machine
dotnet publish -c release -r win10-x64
dotnet publish -c release -r osx.10.10-x64
dotnet publish -c release -r ubuntu.14.04-x64

See step #3 in the instructions you linked. Standalone apps depend on Microsoft.NETCore.App without the 'Platform' type. Compare https://github.com/aspnet/MusicStore/blob/dev/samples/MusicStore/project.json#L58-L61 vs https://github.com/aspnet/MusicStore/blob/dev/samples/MusicStore.Standalone/project.json#L68-L70
Also step #4: They need a list of runtimes to publish for so you get all the right naitve binaries: https://github.com/aspnet/MusicStore/blob/dev/samples/MusicStore.Standalone/project.json#L80-L89
This should let you xcopy deploy the site and run it as a console app (there should be a MyApp.exe for Windows), but you won't be able to run it in IIS without AspNetCoreModule (installed via the Hosting bundle).
