Cake build container

I love Cake but it doesn’t run on .NET Core 2 yet. Actually, I’m trying to fix that issue: https://github.com/cake-build/cake/pull/1812

Unfortunately, the official Docker images don’t have both runtimes installed. So it should be easy to make an image with both right? Well, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would but I managed to do it! https://github.com/adamhathcock/cake-build

Uses a Ubuntu 16.04 base image with a .NET Core 1 runtime installed then .NET Core 2 SDK installed. This should be enough to build any .NET Core 2 project using Cake.

CircleCI is my build service of choice and it is Docker all the way!

Sample CircleCI 2.0 Config

version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: adamhathcock/cake-build:latest
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: Build
          command: ./build.sh

Actually, this config isn’t that interesting 🙂
