arpanpal010/alpine-s6 repository overview

⁠Alpine-s6

⁠Container for Alpine Linux with s6 Overlay

This image⁠ serves as the base container for applications/services that need an init system to launch the processes and pass the proper signals when interacted with the containers.

Built from my alpine-base⁠ image with the s6⁠ init system overlayed on it.

The image is tagged respectively for 2 architectures,

• armhf
• x86_64

⁠Get the Image

Pull the image for your architecture it's already available from Docker Hub.

# make pull
docker pull arpanpal010/alpine-s6:x86_64

⁠Run

# make
docker run --rm -it \
  --name docker_s6 --hostname s6 \
  arpanpal010/alpine-s6:x86_64

# make stop
docker stop -t 2 docker_s6

# make rm
# stop first
docker rm -f docker_s6

# make restart
docker restart docker_s6

⁠Shell access

# make rshell
docker exec -u root -it docker_s6 /bin/bash

# make shell
docker exec -it docker_s6 /bin/bash

# make logs
docker logs -f docker_s6

⁠Development

If you have the repository access, you can clone and build the image yourself for your own system, and can push after.

⁠Setup

Before you clone the repo, you must have Git⁠, GNU make⁠, and Docker⁠ setup on the machine.

git clone <repository url>
cd <repository>

You can always skip installing make but you will have to type the whole docker commands then instead of using the sweet make targets.

⁠Build

To locally build the image for your system.

# make build
docker build --rm --force-rm \
  -t arpanpal010/alpine-s6:x86_64 \
  --no-cache=true --pull .

# make push
docker push arpanpal010/alpine-s6:x86_64

⁠Maintenance

Currently built daily on a RaspberryPi3 (armhf builds) or IntelNUC (x64 builds). Docker hub builds maintained by arpanpal010⁠.
