This image will run stand-alone Mono console apps.

This example Dockerfile will run an executable called TestingConsoleApp.exe.

FROM mono:3.10-onbuild
CMD [ "mono",  "./TestingConsoleApp.exe" ]

Place this file in the root of your app, next to the .sln solution file. Modify the exectuable name to match what you want to run.

This image includes ONBUILD triggers that adds your app source code to /usr/src/app/source, restores NuGet packages and compiles the app, placing the output in /usr/src/app/build.

With the Dockerfile in place, you can build and run a Docker image with your app:

$ docker build -t my-app .
$ docker run my-app

You should see any output from your app now.

This Docker image is provided by Xamarin, for users of the Mono Project.

Thanks to Michael Friis for his preliminary work.
