With the announcement of .Net Core 5 running on linux, mac, and windows, are there any plans for future umbraco versions to build on top of ASP.Net VNext. Thus allowing Umbraco to run on Linux distros and Mac as well as Windows?
During CodeGarden 14 it was announced that Umbraco will be based on ASP.NET VNext...but when it's coming I'm not sure about yet but it's part of the future plans.
I really hope to see this happening soon, I've been using Dotnet Core a lot since its 1.0 Release and it really is promising! The cross-platform flexibility it would bring to Umbraco alone is worth this being a high priority port in my humble opinion ;)
The current plan, I believe, is for Umbraco 9 (whenever that is) to be based on .NET Core.
First, though, v8 has to be finished. v8 removes a lot of legacy code that is currently blocking any migration to .NET Core.
I don't mind if Umbraco doesn't target the .net core but what I would like is if it supports the new project format. The format of the new project is superior. It allows much better client side package management and whichever css pre-processor you would like to use. I would like to use this with Umbraco. I think a good first step would be to support the new project type and then move to .net core.
At the moment .net core is still hard to use. It still doesn't support everything that is required. I think it makes sense that it is not supported at the moment because even though we have a release version we still do not have the support around it to maintain a full web site.
2017 bump here. I'd love to know as a long-time Linux user if and when this is possible. Right now I do use Windows locally (although it's mostly for playing games, and keeping up-to-date with a few past projects).
Additionally to dot net core, if it can be done, I'd be happy to create a docker-image (potentially docker-compose) or vagrant box.
2017 update: we have a lot of rewriting to do. Not for a while. We're releasing v8 first to remove all legacy code. Then v9 could possibly be on ASP.NET core. So it's not around the corner.
There's a docker image out there. It's huge.. I don't really see the point. :-)
Is it possible to have totally scripted (unattended) deploys and backup / recovery of umbraco in a windows environment? (I'd appreciate any pointers to documentation or products you could provide)
Any plans for .Net Core 5 and Cross Platform Capabilties?

Hi Ryan

Hi Ryan,
If you are interested in seen the keynote from the CodeGarden 14, you have the possibility do it here: http://stream.umbraco.org/video/9918428/umbraco-codegarden-14-keynote Niels talks about ASP.NET vNext around the 72 min, into the keynote.
You can also see the other sessions from the CodeCarden 14 here.http://stream.umbraco.org/channel/9915696/codegarden-2014

Any new status about this?
Checkout the Google Group discussion here. It should give you some more information.
Thanks, Dan.
Thanks a lot Dan

Either way, keep up the great work!

Yea that kinda sounds like its far off still? As in, "years from now" which is a bit of a shame :)
I've been working with ASP.NET Core 1.0 for a few months, and these are some of the handy features, I found:
These would be great for plugin and website development in Umbraco.

;-) Thank you.

Completely different issue. :-)
Courier does it (not scripted) and Umbraco Cloud handles that for you automatically (not scripted).
is working on a reply...
