ASP.NET Core, Azure storage controller - asp.net-core

Question

I have a very newbie question.
I am following this docs "Azure Blob storage client library v12 for .NET" - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-dotnet
When I tested on my console, and my Azure storage, it works.
But I was wondering if I can make a controller out of the suggested 'Main' method?
Because I want these getting and posting to the server actions initiated when the user input changes from the front end side.
This is what the Main method inside of the Program.cs looks like based on the docs
static async Task Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Azure Blob storage v12 - .NET quickstart sample\n");
string connectionString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("My_CONNECTION_STRING");
BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(connectionString);
string containerName = "quickstartblobs" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
BlobContainerClient containerClient = await blobServiceClient.CreateBlobContainerAsync(containerName);
string localPath = "./data/";
string fileName = "quickstart" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".txt";
string localFilePath = Path.Combine(localPath, fileName);
// Write text to the file
await File.WriteAllTextAsync(localFilePath, "Hello, World!");
// Get a reference to a blob
BlobClient blobClient = containerClient.GetBlobClient(fileName);
Console.WriteLine("Uploading to Blob storage as blob:\n\t {0}\n", blobClient.Uri);
// Open the file and upload its data
using FileStream uploadFileStream = File.OpenRead(localFilePath);
await blobClient.UploadAsync(uploadFileStream, true);
uploadFileStream.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Listing blobs...");
// List all blobs in the container
await foreach (BlobItem blobItem in containerClient.GetBlobsAsync())
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + blobItem.Name);
}
Console.Write("Press any key to begin clean up");
Console.ReadLine();
string downloadFilePath = localFilePath.Replace(".txt", "DOWNLOAD.txt");
Console.WriteLine("\nDownloading blob to\n\t{0}\n", downloadFilePath);
// Download the blob's contents and save it to a file
BlobDownloadInfo download = await blobClient.DownloadAsync();
using (FileStream downloadFileStream = File.OpenWrite(downloadFilePath))
{
await download.Content.CopyToAsync(downloadFileStream);
downloadFileStream.Close();
}
}
So for example, in my HomeController Can I use post related functions as
[HttpPost]
public void Post([FromBody]string value)
{
//Create a unique name for the container
string containerName = "filedata" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
// Create the container and return a container client object
BlobContainerClient containerClient = await blobServiceClient.CreateBlobContainerAsync(containerName);
// Create a local file in the ./data/ directory for uploading and downloading
string localPath = "./data/";
string fileName = "textfile" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".txt";
string localFilePath = Path.Combine(localPath, fileName);
BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(connectionString);
// Get a reference to a blob
BlobClient blobClient = containerClient.GetBlobClient(fileName);
Console.WriteLine("Uploading to Blob storage as blob:\n\t {0}\n", blobClient.Uri);
// Open the file and upload its data
using FileStream uploadFileStream = File.OpenRead(localFilePath);
await blobClient.UploadAsync(uploadFileStream, true);
uploadFileStream.Close();
}
Or is this a no-go?
Thanks for helping this super newbie!

Yes, you can achieve it.
You can use postman to send post request in local to test it. Remember to remove SSL for webserver setting.
Also, change public void Post to public async Task Post and remove using in code:
FileStream uploadFileStream = File.OpenRead(localFilePath);
await blobClient.UploadAsync(uploadFileStream, true);
uploadFileStream.Close()
