insideo/jre8 repository overview

⁠uc-linux

Micro-container for Docker which is designed to be small (~ 15 MB), extensible (support for Debian .deb packages), and functional. Further, images should be able to have reproducible builds.

⁠Base Packages

This small base gives us wide compatibility with a large range of existing software as well as the ability to build and deploy simple .deb packages.

Glibc was chosen due to its widespread support. Busybox was chosen to give a functional userland with minimal overhead. OpenSSL is present to allow busybox's wget implementation to download from https sites. UC Docker supports simple package management using opkg.
