Dotnet

Railpack builds and deploys Dotnet applications with zero configuration.

Detection

Your project will be detected as a Dotnet application if a *.csproj file

Versions

The Dotnet version is determined in the following order:

• Read TargetFramework from the first *.csproj file found in the project
• Read version from the global.json file in the project root
• Set via the RAILPACK_DOTNET_VERSION environment variable
• Defaults to 6.0.428

Configuration

Railpack builds your Dotnet application based on your project structure. The build process:

• Installs Dotnet SDK and Runtime
• Caches dependencies using dotnet restore
• Builds the project using dotnet publish --no-restore -c Release -o out
• Sets up the start command based on the publish output ./out/{project_name}

Config Variables
