aarch64/irssi
The aarch64
organization is deprecated in favor of the more-specific arm64v8
organization, as per https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#architectures-other-than-amd64. Please adjust your usages accordingly.

links** THESE IMAGES ARE VERY EXPERIMENTAL; THEY ARE PROVIDED ON A BEST-EFFORT BASIS WHILE docker-library/official-images#2289 IS STILL IN-PROGRESS (which is the first step towards proper multiarch images) **
** PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM FOR IMPORTANT THINGS **
This image is built from the source of the official image of the same name (irssi
). Please see that image's description for links to the relevant Dockerfile

If you are curious about specifically how this image differs, see the Jenkins Groovy DSL scripts in the tianon/jenkins-groovy
GitHub repository, which are responsible for creating the Jenkins jobs which build them.

Irssi is a terminal based IRC client for UNIX systems. It also supports SILC and ICB protocols via plugins. Some people refer to it as 'the client of the future'.
Because it is unlikely any two irssi users have the same configuration preferences, this image does not include an irssi configuration. To configure irssi to your liking, please refer to upstream's excellent (and comprehensive) +documentation.
Be sure to also checkout the awesome scripts you can download to customize your irssi configuration.
On a Linux system, build and launch a container named my-running-irssi
like this:
$ docker run -it --name my-running-irssi -e TERM -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
--log-driver=none \
-v $HOME/.irssi:/home/user/.irssi:ro \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
irssi
We specify --log-driver=none
to avoid storing useless interactive terminal data.
On a Mac OS X system, run the same image using:
$ docker run -it --name my-running-irssi -e TERM -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
--log-driver=none \
-v $HOME/.irssi:/home/user/.irssi:ro \
irssi
You omit /etc/localtime
on Mac OS X because boot2docker
doesn't use this file.
The irssi
images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
irssi:<version>
This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
irssi:alpine
This image is based on the popular Alpine Linux project, available in the alpine
official image. Alpine Linux is much smaller than most distribution base images (~5MB), and thus leads to much slimmer images in general.
This variant is highly recommended when final image size being as small as possible is desired. The main caveat to note is that it does use musl libc instead of glibc and friends, so certain software might run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements. However, most software doesn't have an issue with this, so this variant is usually a very safe choice. See this Hacker News comment thread for more discussion of the issues that might arise and some pro/con comparisons of using Alpine-based images.
To minimize image size, it's uncommon for additional related tools (such as git
or bash
) to be included in Alpine-based images. Using this image as a base, add the things you need in your own Dockerfile (see the alpine
image description for examples of how to install packages if you are unfamiliar).
