.NET SDK Containers

This package lets you build container images from your projects with a single command.

Getting Started

To build a container from the SDK, add this package and run the publish command, specifying the DefaultContainer PublishProfile. You can learn more about Publish Profiles in the documentation.

>dotnet add package Microsoft.NET.Build.Containers
>dotnet publish --os linux --arch x64 -p:PublishProfile=DefaultContainer
...
Pushed container '<your app name>:<your app version>' to registry 'docker://'
...

Out of the box, this package will infer a number of properties about the generated container image, including which base image to use, which version of that image to use, and where to push the generated image. You have control over all of these properties, however. You can read more about these customizations here.

Note: This package only supports Web projects (those that use the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web SDK) in this version.
