Docker-Mono

⚠️ This project was a good "how-to" back in the day, before Mono created official images. Read it for historical reasons - then head over to The offical Mono images.

Since Microsoft and Docker now are partners, it has started to pop up a lot of tutorials on how to run Mono and ASP.NET vnext in Docker. Here are some good ones: Creating an ASP.NET vNext Docker Container using Mono, Getting Started with Docker on Microsoft Azure

This project is a simple PoC showing .Net running via Mono in a Docker container, completely isolated.

To try it out, simply install Docker (if you don't already have it!)

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

And then

git clone https://github.com/andmos/Docker-Mono.git
chmod +x DeployHelloWorld
./DeployHelloWorld

Or use the vagrantfile:

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant/
chmod +x DeployHelloWorld
./DeployHelloWorld

The Dockerfile looks for .exe's HelloWorldProject/bin/Debug.

The app that is running is a simple HelloWorld - program in C#:

using System;

namespace HelloWorldProject
{
      class MainClass
      {
	        public static void Main (string[] args)
	        {
		            Console.WriteLine ("Hello World!");
	        }
      }
}

But what about webapps?

The OWIN Katana project promises to take away the need for IIS. Lets try that in Docker:

	git clone https://github.com/andmos/Docker-Mono.git
	./DeployKatanaTest
	Started! Hello from OWA Katana, running isolated in Docker!

Head over to http://localhost and see for yourself.
Oh, did I mention SingnalR runs on Katana?

Feel free to use the Dockerfile for Mono and do youre own testing and packing!

The Mono Dockerfile is also available on the public repository:

docker run andmos/mono

I have also written some words about using Vagrant and Docker to compile, test and deploy .NET code with Vagrant and Docker.

For a "production" example of SignalR running in Docker, I have contributed that part to this project. Check it out.

This project stands on the shoulders of giants.
