Chapter 2. Known issues
NodeJS is no longer included in the .NET 8.0 SDK image.
For information on how to port an application that depends on Node.js from an earlier .NET version to the .NET 8.0 image, see the Porting web applications with NodeJS front-ends to build with .NET 8.0 UBI images Knowledgebase solution.
-
The random user used by OpenShift Container Platform is no longer added to the
/etc/passwd
file on OpenShift Container Platform 3.11. As a result, the .NETEnvironment.UserName
property returns an empty string. -
The
DOTNET_CORE_VERSION
andDOTNET_FRAMEWORK
environment variables were removed from the image. Instead, The image now includes exact versions of the .NET framework, the ASP.NET Core frameworks, and the SDK version in theDOTNET_VERSION
,ASPNET_VERSION
, andDOTNET_SDK_VERSION
environment variables, respectively.. -
The
DOTNET_SSL_DIRS
environment variable used to load certificates from additional directories is no longer handled by the image entrypoint. The default s2i (source-to-image)assemble
andrun
scripts still process the environment variable. To trust certificates in all cases, useSSL_CERT_DIR
instead. In .NET 8.0, you can no longer specify the command and its arguments to run in a container as a single string. You need to pass the arguments as separate strings. The new syntax also works for the earlier .NET versions.
For example, instead of
podman run registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/dotnet-70 “echo hello”
, usepodman run registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/dotnet-80 echo hello
.The
dnf
command is not available.To reduce image size, .NET 8.0 container images use the
ubi-minimal
base image instead of the ubi base image. Theubi-minimal
image uses themicrodnf
command as its package manager instead of thednf
command.If your Dockerfiles/Containerfiles use the
dnf
command, you must change them to use themicrodnf
command instead.For more information about the
microdnf
command, please see themicrodnf
man page.
