AlmaLinux OS
is an Open Source and forever-free enterprise Linux distribution, governed and driven by the community, focused on long-term stability and a robust production-grade platform. AlmaLinux OS is 1:1 binary compatible with RHEL® 8 and it was founded by the team behind the well-established CloudLinux OS
.
AlmaLinux OS images can be use with all OCI complaint container runtime environments like Docker, Podman and Kubernetes and serve as drop-in replacemenets for centos
images as it reaches End of Life.
latest
tagThe default (platform) image is a general-purpose image with a full DNF stack and basic tools like bintools, find, tar, minimal-vim, etc.
The almalinux:latest
tag will always point to the latest stable release of the default image. Major releases and minor releases are also tagged with their version (e.g. almalinux:8
or almalinux:8.5
).
docker pull almalinux
minimal
tagThe minimal image is a stripped-down image that uses the microdnf
as package manager which uses libdnf
and hence doesn't require Python. This image is 52%
smaller in size (37MB
download, 102MB
expanded), contains a very limited package set. It is designed for applications that come with their own dependencies bundled (e.g. GO, NodeJS, Java).
The almalinux:minimal
tag always points to the most recent version of the minimal image. Tags for major (e.g. almalinux:8-minimal
) and minor (e.g. almalinux:8.4-minimal
) releases are also available.
docker pull almalinux:minimal
This minimal image has an additional tag almalinux/8-minimal
, its a mirror of almalinux:minimal
, created to be consistent with other UBI
variants. So, docker pull almalinux/8-minimal
image is same as docker pull almalinux:minimal
almalinux/8-base
tagThe AlmaLinux Base Image is designed to be a base for your containerized applications, middleware and utilities. Base Image includes some helpful OS tools like find, tar, vi, etc., and a full DNF stack. The Image has some differences in a package set than the default(platform) image.
docker pull almalinux/8-base
almalinux/8-init
tagThe AlmaLinux init image extends base image, designed to run an init system as PID 1 for running multi-services inside a container. The systemd enabled as init system in the image
docker pull almalinux/8-init
almalinux/8-micro
tagThe AlmaLinux micro image is a stripped down image, distributed without any package manager. Micro image uses the package manager on the underlying host to install packages, typically using Buildah, or Multi-stage builds with Podman. Micro image is 82%
smaller then base
image, 68%
smaller then minimal
image in size (13MB
download, 36MB
expanded). It is designed for applications that come with their own dependencies bundled (e.g. GO, NodeJS, Java). Since this image has only very few packages, it is more secured compare to other images.
docker pull almalinux/8-micro
All images for supported releases will be updated monthly or as needed for security fixes.
The rootfs tarballs for this image are built using the livemedia-creator tool. The build script and kickstart files are available in the AlmaLinux/docker-images git repository.
