Is 2sxc compatible with Linux containers?

[ddiazpla]

Hi 2sxc Community,

I’m trying to run 2sxc in a Linux container (Docker) environment and encountering issues that seem tied to Windows dependencies ( file system handling).

Running Oqtane in Linux containers is great for cross-platform deployment and works well with cloud orchestration tools (like Kubernetes on AWS/EKS). However, if 2sxc requires Windows containers, it significantly limits deployment flexibility and adds management overhead.

Is 2sxc fundamentally tied to windows only containers / windows OS, or is there a path to running it in a cross-platform Docker environment?

Has anyone successfully deployed 2sxc inside a Linux container?

I’d appreciate any insights or workarounds. Thanks!



To add context about the error:

• The exact same published folder works perfectly when run (dotnet Oqtane.Server.dll --urls "http://localhost:8080") on Windows. However, when executed from a Linux file system, Oqtane itself runs, but the code throws this error when trying to load the 2sxc module on a page.

hi @ddiazpla

As of now we have never tested it on Linux, so there are bound to be a few issues, but I'm certain they could be addressed.

We don't have the skill set to do this, as we don't have experience with linux containers etc., but would love to get this working.

Any chance you could help us?
