.NET Core¶
Introduction¶
.NET is a server-side runtime implementation of CLR, the virtual machine that manages the execution of .NET programs. While .NET Core shares a subset of .NET Framework APIs, it comes with its own API that is not part of .NET Framework.
Versions¶
Release types¶
We provide the latest .NET Core LTS and apply security updates on a regular basis.
We also provide older versions; you can get a full list of curently available versions with dotnet --list-sdks.
Note
Unfortunately, Microsoft has decided not to make .NET 8 available for RHEL 7, on which our operating system CentOS 7 is based. Therefore, we cannot provide .NET 8 or later.
Update policy¶
We update all supported versions on a regular basis.

Check out the Hello, Console App!.
Connection to webserver¶
In order to make your application accessable from the outside, you need to connect it to the webserver, using a web backend.
Please note that your application must listen on the IP 0.0.0.0. You can choose any port
between 1024 and 65535.
Caveats¶
Privacy¶
.NET collects telemetry data by default. This can be turned off by setting the environment variable DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT to 1.
