Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev

Chainguard's .NET Images are comparable to the .NET images available from Microsoft. Like most Chainguard images, the .NET images come with only the minimum dependencies needed to function and do not include things like a shell or package manager.
The Chainguard .NET images are available on cgr.dev
as two variants: dotnet-sdk
and dotnet-runtime
. 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 and Runtime images also have latest-dev
versions that contain a shell and various other tools for development.
To download the SDK image, you would run a command like the following:
And to download the Runtime image, you would run the following:
For simple cases, you can use the SDK image directly, or with a multi-stage build using the SDK image as the builder and the Runtime image as the final target container.
Begin by going to your .NET application directory (or the location where you house your .NET applications) and execute the following command. This command will detect the .NET project in your directory and create a base for the Docker initialization:
This command will create the following files:
After the files have been created, replace the contents within the created Dockerfile with the following
Note that if your project resides in a sub directory, make sure you are pointing to that directory. For example, if your project resided in a directory called 'app', you would set the destination to /source/app
.
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 command:

Docker Hub entryChainguard 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.
