Sign UpChainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev
:
Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION
placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.
The Chainguard .NET images are available on cgr.dev
as two variants: dotnet-sdk-fips
and dotnet-runtime-fips
. The SDK variant contains additional tooling to facilitate development and building, while the runtime variant contains only the runtime to execute .NET applications. Both the sdk-fips
and runtime-fips
images also have latest-dev
version that contain a shell and various other tools for development.
Our .NET runtime
and sdk
images have FIPS enabled versions. However, the underlying .NET core runtime does not include any mechanisms to enforce FIPS compliance according to Microsoft's official documentation. Accordingly, it is up you and/or your developers to ensure that your application is using FIPS compliant algorithms and that the runtime environment is also properly configured to run in FIPS mode.
The dotnet-sdk-fips
image can be used directly for simple cases, or with a multi-stage build using the dotnet-sdk-fips
as the builder and dotnet-runtime-fips
as the final target container.
To get started, go to your current dotnet application directory (or where you house your dotnet applications) and execute the following command. This command should be able to detect the dotnet project in your directory and create a base for the docker initialization.
docker init
This command should create the following files.
After the files have been created, replace the contents within the created Dockerfile with the following
This will build your application using the SDK image and then copy the built application over to the Runtime image which will then start.
You can run and publish a local image with the following command
You can also remove the container using the following
Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.
In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest
contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.
The main features of Chainguard Containers include:
For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev
variant.
Although the -dev
container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev
variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
