This repository contains command-line extensions for the .NET Core CLI which make it easy to create
deployment packages (such as .zip files, tarballs or installers) for .NET Core applications.
The following commands are already available:
dotnet tarball- Create a.tar.gzfile for Linux and OS Xdotnet rpm- Create a CentOS/RedHat Linux installerdotnet zip- Create a.zipfiledotnet deb- Create a Ubuntu/Debian Linux installer
And these are up next:
dotnet pkg- Create a macOS installerdotnet choco- Create a Chocolatey packagedotnet msi- Create a Windows Installer (msi) package

First, install the .NET Packaging tools. You don't need to install all tools if you only plan to use one.
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-zip
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-tarball
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-rpm
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-debThen, in your project directory, run dotnet {zip|tarball|rpm|deb} install to add the tool to your project:
dotnet zip install
dotnet tarball install
dotnet rpm install
dotnet deb installFrom the command line, run dotnet rpm, dotnet zip or dotnet tarball to create a .rpm, .zip or .tar.gz archive of the published output of your project.
All commands take the following command line arguments:
-r,--runtime: The target runtime to build your project for. For example,win7-x64orubuntu.16.10-x64.-f,--framework: The target framework to build your project for. For example,netcoreapp1.1ornet462.-c,--configuration: Target configuration. The default for most projects is 'Debug'.-o,--output: The output directory to place built packages in.--version-suffix: Defines the value for the$(VersionSuffix)property in the project.--no-restore: Skip the implicit call todotnet restore.
All arguments are optional.
Let's create a new console application and package it as a .deb file, so we can install it on our Ubuntu machine:
First, create your console application:
mkdir my-app
cd my-app
dotnet new consoleThen, install the dotnet-deb utility:
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-deb
dotnet deb installAll set. Let's package your application as a deb package:
dotnet debThere's now a bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\my-app.1.0.0.deb file wich you can install:
apt-get install bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\my-app.1.0.0.debYour application is installed into /usr/share/my-app. Invoke it by running /usr/share/my-app/my-app:
/usr/share/my-app/my-appPer default a symlink will by created in /usr/local/bin pointing to your application. Therefore it should be in your path and can be invoked just by the application name.
my-appAdd a my-app.service file to your project containing at least the following
[Unit]
Description=My awesome app
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/my-app
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Add the my-app.service file to an <ItemGroup> of your .csproj with the following content to make sure that it is installed at the right place.
<Content Include="my-app.service" CopyToPublishDirectory="PreserveNewest" LinuxFileMode="1755">
<LinuxPath>/etc/systemd/system/my-app.service</LinuxPath>
</Content>
Make sure to set the Property <InstallService>true</InstallService> in your .csproj file.
You can invoke the packaging tools manually, using a MSBuild target instead of using the a .NET Core CLI tool:
dotnet msbuild [your-project].csproj /t:CreateZip /p:TargetFramework=netcoreapp1.1 /p:RuntimeIdentifier=win7-x64 /p:Configuration=Release
