Dockerizing PXWeb for Linux

[Johan Bondefelt]

Dear all,

I was wondering if any efforts have been made to run PXWeb on a Linux server using Docker. While browsing Docker Hub, I noticed there is a container available for Windows, but it seems somewhat outdated. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Johan

Hi Johan!

I do not know of anybody that has been able to run PxWeb 2012 - 2023v1 on Linux or Linux based containers. I believe that this could be a challenge since PxWeb runs on .Net Framework 4.8 and uses ASP.NET WebForms. I am not sure but I do not recall if the Mono project ever supported ASP.NET WebForms in .NET 4.8 which is the way to run .NET framework applications under Linux. 

But on the upside we are currently developing PxWeb 2.0 which is a React application and PxWebAPi 2.0 which is a .NET 8 application. Both of them are cross platform. We have Dockerfile defined for them that we run on PR so we know that they are able to compile on Linux. We have not yet published any official images but plan to do so before the end of the year.

PxWeb 2.0 is still under development, but the plan is to have a first version ready by the summer. You can see more about it at https://github.com/PxTools/PxWeb2 and read about the project at https://pxtools.github.io/PxWeb2/project/overview/

Kind regards

Petros

Hi Petros!

Many thanks for your swift reply! Please accept my apology for not answering as fast as you.  That was great news!  Maybe Santa Claus actually will deliver a present this year. :)   I am also looking forward to summer of 2026.

Best Regards,

Johan
