Description
Trying to ship a CLI (self-contained .net app) using Docker image `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime-deps:6.0.9-alpine3.16-amd64`.
The choice of this image is to be as lightweight as possible.
The first problem is that `dotnet` command is not available to install using
`RUN dotnet tool install -g dotnet-suggest`.
When using a separate image (like `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0.401-alpine3.16-amd64`) there's a couple of issues with that:
- `/root/.dotnet/tools` is not added to the PATH ([I guess referencing this issue](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/issues/520))
- The second part is that dotnet-suggest does not seem to work at all on alpine ([my other guess is we need this PR to land first](https://github.com/dotnet/command-line-api/pull/1673))
- The last thing is the shim needed. dotnet suggest currently support `Bash|PowerShell|Zsh`, but I think the default for Alpine is Ash.
Overall, we need a simple way to ship a self-contained .net app, with dotnet-suggest pre-configured on Docker, to reduce the burden to set it up for users.
Thanks
