The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception in kubernetes pods with C#.net core

Question

I'm calculating the width and height of an image using System.Drawing.Common. Logic is completely working fine in Windows machine. When I deployed it on Linux Server by creating Kuberenetes Pods , Im getting the "The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception". Is there any way to fix this issue from C# side . Not interested to add/modify build scripts

No. System.Drawing.Common has platform dependencies. They are always there on Windows, but must be installed on Linux.

NOTE that on Ubuntu (and other Linuxes) you may need to install some native dependencies as System.Drawing sits on top of native libraries

sudo apt install libc6-dev
sudo apt install libgdiplus
