• Open solution file in Visual Studio
• Right click on project file and click publish
• Set up your publish profile
  • Select local folder publish
  • Configuration: Release | Any CPU
  • Target framework: net8.0
  • Deployment mode: Self-contained

    "DefaultConnection": "server=127.0.0.1;uid=root;pwd=your-password;database=imageperfect;AllowLoadLocalInfile=true"
