Type the following command to run a sample console application:
docker run --rm microsoft/dotnet-samplesType the following command to run a sample web application:
docker run -it --rm -p 8000:80 --name aspnetcore_sample microsoft/dotnet-samples:aspnetappAfter the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser. On Windows, you may need to navigate to the container via IP address. See ASP.NET Core apps in Windows Containers for instructions on determining the IP address, using the value of --name that you used in docker run.

.NET Core is a general purpose development platform maintained by Microsoft and the .NET community on GitHub. It is cross-platform, supporting Windows, macOS and Linux, and can be used in device, cloud, and embedded/IoT scenarios.
.NET has several capabilities that make development easier, including automatic memory management, (runtime) generic types, reflection, asynchrony, concurrency, and native interop. Millions of developers take advantage of these capabilities to efficiently build high-quality applications.
You can use C# to write .NET Core apps. C# is simple, powerful, type-safe, and object-oriented while retaining the expressiveness and elegance of C-style languages. Anyone familiar with C and similar languages will find it straightforward to write in C#.
.NET Core is open source (MIT and Apache 2 licenses) and was contributed to the .NET Foundation by Microsoft in 2014. It can be freely adopted by individuals and companies, including for personal, academic or commercial purposes. Multiple companies use .NET Core as part of apps, tools, new platforms and hosting services.
You are invited to contribute new features, fixes, or updates, large or small; we are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as we can.

The microsoft/dotnet images come in different flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
It contains the .NET Core SDK which is comprised of two parts:
- .NET Core CLI
- .NET Core
- ASP.NET Core
Use this image for your development process (developing, building and testing applications).
This image contains the ASP.NET Core and .NET Core runtimes and libraries and is optimized for running ASP.NET Core apps in production.
This image contains the .NET Core runtimes and libraries and is optimized for running .NET Core apps in production.
This image contains the native dependencies needed by .NET Core. It does not include .NET Core. It is for self-contained applications.
