.NET Runtime Dependencies

Important: The images from the dotnet/nightly repositories include last-known-good (LKG) builds for the next release of .NET.

See dotnet for images with official releases of .NET.

About

This image contains the native dependencies needed by .NET. It does not include .NET. It is for self-contained applications.

Watch discussions for Docker-related .NET announcements.

Usage

The .NET Docker samples show various ways to use .NET and Docker together. See Introduction to .NET and Docker and Host ASP.NET Core in Docker containers to learn more.

Image Variants

.NET container images have several variants that offer different combinations of flexibility and deployment size. The Image Variants documentation contains a summary of the image variants and their use-cases.

Distroless images

.NET distroless container images contain only the minimal set of packages .NET needs, with everything else removed. Due to their limited set of packages, distroless containers have a minimized security attack surface, smaller deployment sizes, and faster start-up time compared to their non-distroless counterparts. They contain the following features:

Minimal set of packages required for .NET applications
Non-root user by default
No package manager
No shell

.NET offers distroless images for Azure Linux and Ubuntu (Chiseled).

Image Update Policy

Base Image Updates: Images are re-built within 12 hours of any updates to their base images (e.g. debian:bookworm-slim, windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022, etc.).
.NET Releases: Images are re-built as part of releasing new .NET versions. This includes new major versions, minor versions, and servicing releases.
Critical CVEs: Images are re-built to pick up critical CVE fixes as described by the CVE Update Policy below.
Monthly Re-builds: Images are re-built monthly, typically on the second Tuesday of the month, in order to pick up lower-severity CVE fixes.
Out-Of-Band Updates: Images can sometimes be re-built when out-of-band updates are necessary to address critical issues. If this happens, new fixed version tags will be updated according to the Fixed version tags documentation.

CVE Update Policy

.NET container images are regularly monitored for the presence of CVEs. A given image will be rebuilt to pick up fixes for a CVE when:

We detect the image contains a CVE with a CVSS score of "Critical"
AND the CVE is in a package that is added in our Dockerfile layers (meaning the CVE is in a package we explicitly install or any transitive dependencies of those packages)
AND there is a CVE fix for the package available in the affected base image's package repository.

Please refer to the Security Policy and Container Vulnerability Workflow for more detail about what to do when a CVE is encountered in a .NET image.
