During development I control the http and https ports using the launchSettings.json file as marked below:

Is it correct to use this same approach to control the kestrel port during deployment to production? Or do I need to make any port config in the appsettings.json or any other file?

Because launchSettings.json work for Development env Development and launchSettings.json

There are the several ways you can set the port in Kestrel endpoints for production environment

Specify URLs using the:

  • ASPNETCORE_URLS environment variable.

  • use dotnet with --urls command-line argument.

    dotnet yourdll.dll --urls http://+:2222

  • UseUrls extension method.

  • urls host configuration key.

If we want to set a Kestrel endpoint Follow the node to set the URL for your project appsettings.

Kestrel / EndPoints / Http / Url

{
  "Kestrel": {
    "Endpoints": {
      "Http": {
        "Url": "http://+:2222"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note

But I would suggest you add Nginx or Certbot to be reverse proxy instead of setting port and expose to outside connection.
