As topic says, I wonder if this is possible somehow, or if .NET 4.8 requirements prevents this.

It's possible, but you'll need to mount the umbraco filesystem stuff as Umbraco needs it

I guess you're also limited to only running on windows architecture as the docker system host?

From v9 and up it runs great in a docker

I have done this previously - on v7 I think - but it was a right royal pain.

Is it not just the same as running v10+ in a docker container? https://skrift.io/issues/umbraco-and-docker-part-1-getting-familiar-with-containers/

Umbraco and Docker - Part 1 : Getting familiar with containers by C...

Containers make your applications faster, more efficient, more scalable and more resilient, but they are used much less for websites. In the first part of a series on Umbraco and Docker, Carl introduces us to Docker containers and shows us how to run a basic Umbraco 9 site in one so that we can get all the benefits.

Here are some of the things I had to do then:

  • Change config files to allow environment based overrides using Microsoft.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilders.EnvironmentConfigBuilder
  • (Lots of tweaking as config builders only work in certain areas and certain ways)
  • Change various IIS settings in the dockerfile, including folder file permissions, 32bit mode, loaduserProfile, idleTimeout, installing UrlRewrite
  • Tweaks to get the virtual file system working with S3 bucket from INSIDE the container

There was lots of other stuff too, but I think that was mostly hosting related because the project was running on a custom private cloud based of OpenStack.

It IS possible - and we had it running successfully for multiple years.
