How do I programmatically access private folder from ASP.NET Core app

Is it possible to write logs to the private directory of my ASP.NET Core app?

Google it. There are solutions using Serilog etc.

Example of how to programmatically obtain path to \private folder in .NET / ASP.NET Core:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

Console.WriteLine("Content root: " + builder.Environment.ContentRootPath);
Console.WriteLine("Web root: " + builder.Environment.WebRootPath);

var app = builder.Build();

// private path folder outside wwwroot
var privateFolderPath = Path.Combine(builder.Environment.ContentRootPath, "..", "Private");

Console.WriteLine("Private folder path: " + privateFolderPath);

In this example \private folder is outside of wwwroot, so it cannot be accessed through HTTP requests.
