.NET Framework Runtime and Builder Docker repos have merged

The microsoft/dotnet-framework-build Docker Hub repo has been merged into the microsoft/dotnet-framework Docker Hub repo. All new tags going forward will only be pushed to microsoft/dotnet-framework. The images in the microsoft/dotnet-framework-build Docker Hub repo will be retained and serviced accordingly as to not affect existing usage.

Details

The microsoft/dotnet-framework-build Docker Hub repo has been merged into the microsoft/dotnet-framework Docker Hub repo.

• Add support for 4.7.2 #123
• Consider merging .NET Framework Runtime and Builder Docker repos #78

In order to differentiate the runtime and build images, runtime and sdk distinguishing identifiers have been added to the tags. For example, 4.7.2-runtime and 4.7.2-sdk.

All new tags going forward will only be pushed to microsoft/dotnet-framework. For example, the build images for 4.7.2 which was released today, only exist in microsoft/dotnet-framework repo.

The existing tags in microsoft/dotnet-framework-build will remain and be serviced accordingly. For example, the stable tags such as 4.7.1-windowsservercore-1709 will continue to be patched on a monthly basis.

We recommend that as you create and maintain your code, you move to use the new runtime and sdk images from the microsoft/dotnet-framework repo.

The microsoft/dotnet-framework-build Docker Hub repo will be deleted on 1/1/2019.

Is this only for microsoft/dotnet docker images or will microsoft/aspnetcore images follow this new convention too?

[MichaelSimons]

@robrich - this only applies to the microsoft/dotnet-framework images - i.e. the full .NET Framework. The microsoft/dotnet images already followed this convention. microsoft/aspnetcore is being transitioned in a different sorts in 2.1. See aspnet/aspnet-docker#403 for details.

Closing issue but feel free to continue the conversation.

What are the images tagged without -sdk or -runtime, e.g. dotnet-framework:4.7.1?

[MichaelSimons]

They are equivalent to the -runtime images. We recommend moving off of these tags onto the -runtime tags. They are no longer being documented.

What is the recommendation for building .net Core SPA images? dotnet build restores the node and nuget packages and therefore requireds both npm and dotnet to be present in the image. aspnetcore-build had both the dependencies available.
