Next, you should change your project.json file and add the dotnet-publish-docker package to tools and add the dotnet publish-docker to the post-publish script.

"tools": {
  "dotnet-publish-docker": "1.0.0-preview1"
},
"scripts": {
  "postpublish": "dotnet publish-docker --publish-folder %publish:OutputPath%"
}

It's possible to create your own base Docker image and use this as --base-image parameter.
