11notes/apk repository overview

⁠APK

Build Alpine apk, quick and easy

⁠SYNOPSIS 📖

What can I do with this? This image will let you build your own custom apk’s for Alpine in a self-containing and easy manner. Simply add all the projects you want to build to the /src directory and execute amake. This will create all your apk’s and put them into /apk for use in other layers or to export them. You can also sparse checkout and build official packages from different releases by simply calling amake python3 main 3.18 which would build python3 in the latest version of Alpine 3.18⁠ from the main branch. Since this is a sparse checkout, it will only download the python3 folder in question and not the entire aports repo, which makes for very quick builds.

⁠BUILD 🚧

FROM 11notes/apk:stable AS build
# build your apk
RUN set -ex; \
  amake python3 main 3.19

FROM 11notes/alpine:stable
# copy apk
COPY --from=build /apk/ /apk
# install custom apk
RUN set -ex; \
  apk --no-cache --allow-untrusted --repository /apk add \
    python3=~3.11; \
  rm -rf /apk;

⁠MAIN TAGS 🏷️

These are the main tags for the image. There is also a tag for each commit and its shorthand sha256 value.

• 3.22⁠
• stable⁠

⁠There is no latest tag, what am I supposed to do about updates?

It is of my opinion that the :latest tag is dangerous. Many times, I’ve introduced breaking changes to my images. This would have messed up everything for some people. If you don’t want to change the tag to the latest semver⁠, simply use the short versions of semver⁠. Instead of using :3.22 you can use :3. Since on each new version these tags are updated to the latest version of the software, using them is identical to using :latest but at least fixed to a major or minor version.

If you still insist on having the bleeding edge release of this app, simply use the :rolling tag, but be warned! You will get the latest version of the app instantly, regardless of breaking changes or security issues or what so ever. You do this at your own risk!
