codebeltnet/ubuntu-testrunner repository overview

⁠codebeltnet/ubuntu-testrunner

A purpose-built Ubuntu 24.04 image for remote .NET test execution and debugging in Linux containers.

Designed to complement Visual Studio remote testing, this image gives you a ready-to-use Linux test target with the current .NET LTS and STS releases installed, including preview builds, plus vsdbg for remote debugging when tests fail.

⁠Why use this image?

When your applications run on Linux, your test environment should reflect that reality.

codebeltnet/ubuntu-testrunner helps you validate and troubleshoot .NET applications in a containerized Ubuntu environment that is better aligned with modern deployment targets than a local workstation alone.

⁠What it provides

• Ubuntu 24.04 as a stable Linux-based execution environment
• Current .NET LTS and STS versions preinstalled
• Preview .NET builds available for forward-looking validation
• vsdbg preinstalled for remote debugging
• A repeatable test runner image for local development and CI pipelines

⁠Key benefits

• Production-aligned testing
  Run tests in a Linux environment closer to where your application actually executes.

• Stay current with .NET
  Validate against the latest supported LTS, STS, and preview releases without rebuilding your workflow from scratch.

• Remote debugging ready
  Attach and troubleshoot failing tests directly inside the container using vsdbg.

• Consistent across developer and CI workflows
  Use the same test runner image everywhere to reduce setup friction and environment drift.

• Better confidence before upgrades
  Test against preview builds early to spot compatibility issues before the next .NET release lands.

⁠Ideal for

• Visual Studio remote testing workflows
• Linux-based .NET test execution
• Testing against current LTS, STS, and preview .NET versions
• Containerized debugging of failing test runs
• Teams that want a reusable and standardized .NET test runner image

⁠Summary

codebeltnet/ubuntu-testrunner gives you a reproducible Ubuntu-based .NET test runner built for remote testing and debugging, with support for the current .NET LTS and STS releases, including previews.

Use it to test earlier, debug faster, and validate your .NET applications in a Linux container environment that matches modern deployment expectations.
