.NET Framework Docker Samples

This repo contains samples that demonstrate various .NET Framework Docker configurations, which you can use as the basis of your own Docker images. These samples depend on the .NET Framework Docker images on Docker Hub, provided by the .NET Team at Microsoft.

Docker uses docker/whalesay as a getting started sample. The .NET Team at Microsoft uses dotnetbot, which is the mascot for .NET open source projects. Got something to say? Both whalesay and dotnetbot are great listeners.

You can pick the sample that best fits the scenario you are interested in. The instructions for each sample describe how to target Windows Containers.

Requirements

You need to have the Docker for Windows client installed to use these samples.

Samples

The following samples show different ways to use .NET images.

.NET Framework 4.7

• dotnetapp-4.7 - This sample demonstrates how to build a Docker image for a .NET Framework 4.7 application. It can also be used with applications built for earlier .NET 4.x versions of the .NET Framework.

.NET Framework 4.6.2

• dotnetapp-4.6.2 - This sample demonstrates how to build a Docker image for a .NET Framework 4.6.2 application. It can also be used with applications built for earlier .NET 4.x versions of the .NET Framework.

.NET Framework 3.5

• dotnetapp-3.5 - This sample demonstrates how to build a Docker image for a .NET Framework 3.5 application. It can also be used with applications built for earlier versions of the .NET Framework.

ASP.NET Web Forms using .NET Framework 4.6.2

• aspnetapp - This sample demonstrates how to build a Docker image for an ASP.NET Web Forms application that uses .NET Framework 4.6.2.

WCF Service

• wcfapp - This folder contains samples that demonstrate how to build and run Docker images for WCF services, either IIS-hosted or self-hosted.
