Chapter 4. Publishing applications with .NET 9.0
.NET 9.0 applications can be published to use a shared system-wide version of .NET or to include .NET.
The following methods exist for publishing .NET 9.0 applications:
- Self-contained deployment (SCD) - The application includes .NET. This method uses a runtime built by Microsoft.
- 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.
Prerequisites
Existing .NET application.
For more information about 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 net9.0
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 net9.0 -r rhel.8-architecture --self-contained false
Replace architecture based on the platform you are using:
