My previous blog posts talks about built-in container support in the .NET SDK. It allows you to create and publish Docker images for your .NET applications without writing any Dockerfile. I also showed how to use the Chiseled Ubuntu base images optimized for .NET and containers. We saw how to publish your Docker images using the .NET SDK to GitHub Packages / Container Registry.

Today, I want to show you how to publish your Docker images using the .NET SDK to GitHub Container Registry using GitHub Actions. It brings us to the next level of automation.

In my previous blog posts, I wrote about the built-in container support in the .NET 7 SDK that allows you to create and publish Docker images for your .NET applications without writing any Dockerfile. I also showed how to use the Chiseled Ubuntu base images optimized for .NET and containers.

For this blog post, I will explain how to publish your Docker images using the .NET SDK to GitHub Packages / Container Registry. It is possible to publish to different container registries, such as Docker Hub, GitHub, Azure Container Registry, or your own private registry. I will show you how to publish to GitHub Packages / Container Registry, but the process is similar for other registries.

This blog post will help you learn how to leverage the .NET SDK’s built-in container support to effortlessly distribute and run your .NET applications in the cloud using Docker. Stay tuned!

Are you looking for a fast and easy way to create and run .NET applications using Docker containers without writing any Dockerfile? If so, you will be glad to know that Microsoft has introduced a new feature of the .NET SDK 7.0.200 that makes it possible to create and publish OCI container images directly from your project file. We have seen how “.NET 7 SDK built-in container support and Ubuntu Chiseled“ can be used together. It lets us create small and secure containers for our .NET applications easily. We went from a first docker image of 216MB down to 48.3 MB. That is more than a 77% reduction in size. .NET SDK 7.0.200 bring some new capabilities. We will explore some in this post.
