Chapter 4. Publishing applications with .NET 6.0
.NET 6.0 applications can be published to use a shared system-wide version of .NET or to include .NET. The following methods exist for publishing .NET 6.0 applications: Single-file application - The application is self-contained and can be deployed as a single executable with all dependent files contained in a single binary. Single-file application deployment is not available on IBM Z and LinuxONE. Framework-dependent deployment (FDD) - The application uses a shared system-wide version of .NET. When publishing an application for RHEL, Red Hat recommends using FDD, because it ensures that the application is using an up-to-date version of .NET, built by Red Hat, that uses a set of native dependencies. Self-contained deployment (SCD) - The application includes .NET. This method uses a runtime built by Microsoft. SCD is not available on IBM Z and LinuxONE.
Prerequisites
-
Existing .NET application. For more information on how to create a .NET application, see Creating an application using .NET .
4.1. Publishing .NET applications
The following procedure outlines how to publish a framework-dependent application.
Procedure
-
Publish the framework-dependent application:
$ dotnet publish my-app -f net6.0 -c Release
Replace my-app with the name of the application you want to publish. Optional: If the application is for RHEL only, trim out the dependencies needed for other platforms:
$ dotnet publish my-app -f net6.0 -c Release -r rhel.8-architecture --self-contained false
-
Replace architecture based on the platform you are using: For Intel:
x64
