- version:

.NET Deployment
Detection
Project is .NET if a *.csproj file exists in the root.
Versions
*.csproj→TargetFramework(e.g.net8.0)global.json→sdk.version- Defaults to 8.0
Build
Build Process
- Restore:
dotnet restore - Publish:
dotnet publish --no-restore -c Release -o out - Output:
./out/<project_name>.dllor./out/<project_name>.exe
Start Command
./out/<project_name>ordotnet ./out/<project_name>.dll- Project name from
*.csprojfilename (e.g.MyApp.csproj→MyApp)
Port Binding
ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://0.0.0.0:${PORT:-3000}
Ensures the app listens on all interfaces.
Runtime Packages
| Package | Purpose |
|---|---|
| libicu-dev | Internationalization support |
Framework Detection
| Signal | Framework |
|---|---|
| Microsoft.AspNetCore.App | ASP.NET Core |
| Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web | Web SDK |
| Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Worker | Worker service |
| Microsoft.NET.Sdk | Console / class library |
Install Stage Optimization
Copy project files first for layer caching:
*.csproj,*.slnglobal.json,nuget.config,Directory.Build.props,Directory.Packages.props- Then
src/
Caching
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.nuget/packages \
dotnet restore
Base Images
| Stage | Image |
|---|---|
| Build | mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 or mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0-alpine |
| Runtime | mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 or mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:8.0 |
Use ASP.NET runtime for web apps; runtime for console/worker.
Dockerfile Patterns
ASP.NET Core
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY *.csproj ./
RUN dotnet restore
COPY . .
RUN dotnet publish --no-restore -c Release -o out
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/out .
ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://0.0.0.0:3000
EXPOSE 3000
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "MyApp.dll"]
Multi-project (sln)
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY *.sln ./
COPY src/ ./src/
RUN dotnet restore
RUN dotnet publish src/MyApp/MyApp.csproj --no-restore -c Release -o out
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/out .
ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://0.0.0.0:3000
EXPOSE 3000
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "MyApp.dll"]
Self-contained (single binary)
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY *.csproj ./
RUN dotnet restore
COPY . .
RUN dotnet publish --no-restore -c Release -o out -r linux-x64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime-deps:8.0
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/out .
ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://0.0.0.0:3000
EXPOSE 3000
ENTRYPOINT ["./MyApp"]
