Description

No examples on how to use Autofac in AspNet Core (DotNet Core 3.1+) web applications that run in Service Fabric

The repo at https://github.com/autofac/Examples/tree/master/src/ServiceFabricDemo/AutofacServiceFabricDemo hasn't been updated in 3 years. A lot has changed since then.

For instance, Startup.cs must have a void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) method. Returning IServiceProvider is not valid anymore after DotNetCore 3.1+

I have created the following branch with a web app running the latest DotNetCore, that uses service fabric and Microsoft Dependency Injection. See here

It fulfills all the requirements (DI, reading appsettings, clean change of environment for testing, TestServer with possibility to overwrite DI registrations for mocks, etc.). Please feel free to have a look and if there's any way to add Autofac to that sample I'll be happy to contribute.

There are unanswered questions in StackOverflow about the same:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64278765/how-to-use-autofac-with-iwebhost

Desired Solution

A basic example on how to register Autofac with a WebHostBuilder (if possible), and where to register dependencies in a service fabric app would be enough.

Alternatives You've Considered

The alternative I've considered is not to use Autofac, but if I could help in any way to find out how to do it or to suggest something, I'll do that.
