Answer 1

Now it's working on Linux starting from .NET Core. First of all you must get rid of System.Drawing.Common in your code because now it's only supported on Windows. You can use ImageSharp, SkiaSharp or Microsoft.Maui.Graphics instead. All of them are cross-platform.

Then, install libgdiplus.

On ubuntu: sudo apt-get install -y libgdiplus

On macOs (homebrew must be installed in your system): brew install mono-libgdiplus

Restart Nginx server: sudo systemctl restart nginx

If the problem is still there, open terminal in project folder and make

nuget restore <Your-project-or.sln>
