Starting with .NET 8, it’s possible to directly generate a tar.gz container archive. This is particularly advantageous for more complex workflows where activities like scanning the images before pushing them are needed. After creating the archive, it can be transferred, scanned, or incorporated into your local Docker setup.

For archiving during publication, integrate the ContainerArchiveOutputPath attribute into your dotnet publish instruction. For instance:


dotnet publish \
  -p PublishProfile=DefaultContainer \
  -p ContainerArchiveOutputPath=./containers/my-container.tar.gz
Code language: Bash (bash)
