Create a Linux-based Docker file for .NET Framework project

Create a Linux-based Docker file for .NET Framework project

It's not recommended to use .NET Framework with Docker containers running on Linux, as .NET Framework is designed to run on Windows. However, if you need to create a Docker file for a .NET Framework project on Linux, you can use the following steps:

  • Use a base image of Windows Server Core, which provides the necessary Windows binaries and libraries to run .NET Framework applications.
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019
  • Install .NET Framework on top of the base image. You can use the official .NET Framework runtime image from Microsoft as a starting point.
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019 SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"] # Install .NET Framework 4.8 RUN Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-developer-pack-offline-installer -OutFile dotnet-framework-installer.exe; \ .\dotnet-framework-installer.exe /q /norestart; \ Remove-Item -Force dotnet-framework-installer.exe
  • Copy the necessary files for your application into the container.
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019 SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"] # Install .NET Framework 4.8 RUN Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-developer-pack-offline-installer -OutFile dotnet-framework-installer.exe; \ .\dotnet-framework-installer.exe /q /norestart; \ Remove-Item -Force dotnet-framework-installer.exe # Copy the application files WORKDIR /app COPY . . # Start the application CMD ["MyApp.exe"]
  • Build and run the container.
docker build -t myapp . docker run myapp

Note that this approach is not ideal, as .NET Framework is not designed to run in Linux containers and may have compatibility issues. It's recommended to migrate your .NET Framework application to .NET Core or .NET 5+ to take advantage of the improved performance and cross-platform support.
