  2. Building .NET Framework ASP.NET Core apps on Linux using Mono and the .NET CLI

    I've been hitting Docker hard (as regulars will notice from the topic of recent posts!), and thanks to .NET Core, it's all been pretty smooth sailing. However, I had a requirement for building a library that multi-tartgets both full .NET framework and .NET Standard, to try to avoid some of…

  3. Building ASP.NET Core apps on both Windows and Linux using AppVeyor

    Nearly two years ago I wrote a post about using AppVeyor to build and publish your first .NET Core NuGet package. A lot has changed with ASP.NET Core since then, but by-and-large the process is still the same. I've largely moved to using Cake to build my apps, but…

  4. Writing logs to Elasticsearch with Fluentd using Serilog in ASP.NET Core

    For apps running in Kubernetes, it's particularly important to be storing log messages in a central location. I'd argue that this is important for all apps, whether or not you're using Kubernetes or docker, but the ephemeral nature of pods and containers make the latter cases particularly important. If you're…

  5. Suppressing the startup and shutdown messages in ASP.NET Core

    In this post, I show how you can disable the startup message shown in the console when you run an ASP.NET Core application. This extra text can mess up your logs if you're using a collector that reads from the console, so it can be useful to disable in…

  6. Exploring the .NET Core 2.1 Docker files (updated): dotnet:runtime vs aspnetcore-runtime vs sdk

    This is an update to my previous post explaining the difference between the various Linux .NET docker files. Things have changed a lot in .NET Core 2.1, so that post is out of date! When you build and deploy an application in Docker, you define how your image should…

  7. Pushing NuGet packages built in Docker by running the container

    In a previous post I described how you could build NuGet packages in Docker. One of the advantages of building NuGet packages in Docker is that you can don't need any dependencies installed on the build-server itself, you can install all the required dependencies in the Docker container instead. One…
