Hello Eugene, > Good question. We are using Docker to run a microservices architecture for > our app. As such, we are dealing with a lot of docker containers, each > running a very small mono app (service). Sounds interesting!

I am not a docker expert, but I thought the layered system with AUFS avoids duplication of similar parts of containers? Or are the containers all running on different hosts? > Here is an example of a guy doing it, except he makes the static bundle on > Debian > http://www.onegeek.com.au/articles/a-nancy-net-microservice-running-on-docker-in-under-20mb. I suggest you build your own CentOS packages: comment the rm lines, and add the libmono-2.0.a files and others in the %files section. > Is the mono package mailing list more appropriate for this question?

I think not much is happening on the package mailing list: http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-packagers-list/ But it might be good to get a discussion going there again :) Otherwise try the IRC: #mono on freenode all the best, Timotheus _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
