Question

.Net SDK for ASP.Net Core using Nginx

To host an ASP.Net Core MVC website using Nginx in a Droplet, do I need the .NET SDK?

The article How To Deploy an ASP.NET Core Application with MySQL Server Using Nginx on Ubuntu 18.04 says we need the .Net Runtime but it shows installation of the SDK. Is the SDK necessary?

I am publishing my MVC app using --self-contained true therefore I probably do not even need to install the runtime but it is installed.

Certainly I can also install the SDK if necessary but the article is confusing.
