Running in CentOS (Linux)
The idea is to build the project in .NET Core.
We can test this out with a simple Console App.
Starts by creating a .net core Console linux project:
Check the project properties, ensure the project is built with .NET Core framework:
Install Nuget Package of MySqlBackup.NET (with MySqlConnector):
Next, is to publish the project for .NET Core (Linux):
In above example, the Linux compiled binaries are located at:
\bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\publish\linux-x64
Copy the DLL in above folder and paste it to your CentOS
At the CentOS, make sure that you have installed Dotnet runtime by following command:
sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-<version>
For example:
sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-3.1
sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-5.0
Assume that you have copied your .NET Core DLL files at the following folder:
/home/<username>/testapp
Then you can test out your app with following command:
cd /home/admin/testapp
dotnet ConsoleApp.dll
Here is the sample source code for your referrence:
Above method requires CentOS to install the dotnet runtime by executing the following command:
sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-3.1
sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-5.0
But however, the .NET Core App can also be run without installing dotnet runtime, which is by compiling the project into single "self-contained" binary.
Here is the screenshot for publishing the "self-contained" binary:
Here is the example of how it looks like after publishing, there is only 1 single file:
Copy the compiled binary to CentOS
At the terminal, browse to the folder that contains the self-contained binary, for example:
cd /home/admin/testapp
Next, is to allow execution permission to the file:
sudo chmod 777 ConsoleApp2
Run the app:
./ConsoleApp2
