Even when these official images are still evolving, I think that a summary about the multiple Microsoft Docker images for .NET available at Docker Hub<\/a> would be a \u201cnice to have\u201d thing.<\/p>\n

This blog post is related to my previous blog post on \u201cDocker containers \u2013 Should I use .NET Core or .NET Framework?<\/a>\u201d, however I\u2019m drilling down here into the specific images available today (November 18th 2016).<\/p>\n

.NET Core images – <\/b>microsoft<\/a>\/dotnet<\/a><\/h2>\n

(https:\/\/hub.docker.com\/r\/microsoft\/dotnet\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n

This repository is named as microsoft\/dotnet<\/a> and contains multiple images supporting several Operating Systems and versions (Linux and Windows) based on multiple available TAGs, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
microsoft\/dotnet:1.1-runtime<\/strong><\/td>\n.NET Core 1.1 runtime-only on Linux Debian<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
microsoft\/dotnet:1.1-runtime-nanoserver<\/strong><\/td>\n.NET Core 1.1 runtime-only on Windows Nanoserver<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

The whole repo name plus the selected tag is what you need to provide into your dockerfile file.<\/p>\n

There are additional Images used to develop, build or run .NET Core apps with sub-variant tags like \u201c:1.1.0-sdk-msbuild<\/strong>\u201d, etc. These .NET Core SDK Docker images are useful images for iterative development and the easiest way to get started using .NET Core with Docker. However, It isn’t recommended for production since it’s a bigger image than necessary as they include SDKs.<\/p>\n

When to use images from the .NET Core repository<\/b><\/p>\n
