dotnet-mono-docker

Base docker image including the dotnet cli (RTM) and mono

Why?

The microsoft/dotnet image does not have any Mono support.

The previous microsoft/aspnet:latest or :clr tags would allow you to utilise .NET 4.5.1 DLLs with your ASP.NET MVC 6 application.

This docker image intends to fill this gap.

Base operating system

The base operating system is Debian 8 (Jessie) due to importing from microsoft/dotnet

What's included

sdk tag (aka latest)

Good for building!

• dotnet sdk latest (specific version will come from base image's "sdk" / "latest" tag)
• Mono (version 4.4.2.11), including ca-certificates-mono, fsharp, mono-vbnc, nuget, referenceassemblies-pcl

runtime tag

Good for running! (see http://blog.tomecek.net/post/build-docker-image-in-two-steps/ for information on making a two-step docker build process.)

• dotnet runtime latest (specific version will come from base image's "sdk" / "latest" tag)
• Mono (version 4.4.2.11)

What's not

• NodeJS and therefore bower. If you need these, use cl0sey/dotnet-mono-node-docker.
• An example app! See cl0sey/dotnet-mono-aspnet-core-example instead.
