culater/unrar repository overview

⁠docker-unrar

A minimal Alpine-based image that builds a statically-linked unrar binary and installs it to /usr/bin/unrar. It's a small multi-arch utility image, not a standalone service - no ENTRYPOINT/CMD, ports, or volumes.

⁠Docker

The resulting image can be found here: https://hub.docker.com/r/culater/unrar⁠

⁠Usage

This image is primarily meant as a build-stage source for other Dockerfiles that need unrar without pulling in the full build toolchain:

COPY --from=culater/unrar /usr/bin/unrar /usr/local/bin/unrar

It can also be run directly to invoke unrar against a mounted volume:

docker run --rm -v /path/to/files:/data culater/unrar unrar x /data/archive.rar /data/

⁠Reporting problems

Please report any issues to the Gitlab issue tracker⁠

⁠Project status

The unrar version built into this image is currently pinned (see the RELEASE variable in .gitlab-ci.yml) rather than tracking upstream automatically.
