If your code is dependent on a complex list of native libraries, you should probably switch to docker containers where you can control the installed native libraries.
What dependencies or underlying libraries changed in the basic Linux Azure App service container in .NET 8?

I host a large number of services with Azure App services basic Linux stack (non docker containerized). I have started migrating an app from .NET 6 to .NET 8 and ran into an issue with a PDF generation dependency that worked on the .NET 6 runtime stack but now no longer works in the .NET8 version. The underlying library (https://github.com/HakanL/WkHtmlToPdf-DotNet) is a .NET wrapper around a native library and it looks like one of its dependencies got dropped in the new .NET 8 runtime container.
More details here:
https://github.com/HakanL/WkHtmlToPdf-DotNet/issues/121
Does anyone know if there is a way to add in the required dependencies again or if there is any possible solution to this problem?
Given the above nuget package is one of the only open source options for PDF generation in .NET currently, its unfeasible for us to migrate away from it at this point in time.

While you can SSH into your Web App, any dependencies would not be available outside of /home. We offer the Azure Web App Container product, which could host your custom container. Beyond that, we'll take your scenario to the product group next week to have them review and see if they have any further ideas. We'll circle back to you after the meeting via this thread.

2024-02-05T01:55:27.1133333+00:00 @Paul Ivanov We took your scenario to the product group, and they verified that your best course of action to use a container if there is a dependency that has not been updated to work with .NET 8. A container will give you more control of what you can run. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
