Update 2.1 Alpine images to be based on to latest

MichaelSimons opened this issue · 9 comments

The 2.1 preview Alpine images are based on 3.6 - e.g. https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/blob/master/2.1/runtime/alpine/amd64/Dockerfile. This should be changed to the latest version of Alpine - 3.7. Depending on when 2.1 ships, 3.8 may be available.

This change is dependent on the completion of https://github.com/dotnet/core-setup/issues/3817

Alpine images are not supported Culture ?

Globalization is disabled by default with Alpine images in order to produce smaller images. You can re-enable globalization if your application relies on it. See the Alpine samples for how to do this.

Any ETA on getting the dotnet docker images to Alpine 3.8? Looks like it came out about 6 weeks ago so was just wondering (am needing it because it bumps chromium from v61 to v68).

@robertmiles3 - The Docker images for Alpine 3.8 are currently blocked on .NET Core officially supporting 3.8. This is actively being worked on. I don't have an ETA as of now.

Gotcha, thanks for the update.

@robertmiles3 Isn't 3.8 already supported?

Ref. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/linux-prerequisites?tabs=netcore2x
NET Core 2.1 is supported on the following Linux distributions/versions:

  • Alpine Linux 3.7 or later versions - 64-bit

@altinnadmin Yes, 3.8 is supported for runtimes but that's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to the base dotnet docker images getting bumped up to 3.8.

Closing this issue and using #742 to track the Alpine 3.8 specific images.
