Web Publish .net core website using MSBuild

I'm trying to Web Publish a .zip created by dotnet publish from Azure DevOps. There's a WinRM Web Publish task but it's unsatisfactory because it uses port 5986 and requires a self-signed certificate on the target server, which only lasts for one year.



Is it possible to use MSBuild instead such that it doesn't attempt a build and only does a publish?



I figure this should be possible because I can use Web Publish from Visual Studio and it doesn't use port 5986.

          Do publish without build, you can use dotnet publish --no-build. You can check the additional options here. If you need to change the port, you can change it from the Program.cs file with this:



          WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
          .UseUrls("http://localhost:5054")
          .UseStartup<Startup>()

          • Dotnet publish doesn’t build already. And the port number is for Web Publish not the website itself.
