Just to be helpful: OctopusDeploy release a tool to help with migrating to Core:

@gijswijs Thanks, I'll check that out! I'm hoping to start this effort fairly soon. It looks like many of the libraries we depend on have either ported or are in the process.

[airtonix]

Yep, i'd love to use this inside docker/linux

[Vladekk]

Any progress on this yet?
Docker is on the rise, so Core support would be awesome.

[pauldotknopf]

I'd be willing to help out to add .NET Core support.

Is there a list floating around somewhere of what has to be fixed for Wyam to run on core? Is it possible to generate one somehow?

[pauldotknopf]

@daveaglick Can I get started on this now? I need to make wyam as a part of the build process, and I want to use a docker image for the build server :)

[pauldotknopf]

I'd probably get the core/tests done first. Then, module-by-module, we will inspect dependencies and determine if we can support .NET Core. I remember seeing a few dependencies that didn't have .NET Core support.

@pauldotknopf Be my guest! I haven't dug too deeply into it because I suspect some of the assembly context and application domain loading stuff may be a pain until those are introduced in netstandard 2.0. That said, if you're able to get around it, I'd be happy to make some progress here.

[daveaglick]

@pauldotknopf Good call - most of the challenging stuff is going to be in Wyam.Configuration. If you can get some of the other libraries moved over to netstandard 1.5 now that'll reduce the lead time in any case. And it shouldn't be too disruptive since I just updated everything to Framework 4.6.2 which can consume netstandard 1.5 libraries.
