marksargento/alpine-erlang repository overview

⁠Erlang on Alpine Linux

This is based on pentacent/alpine-erlang-base⁠ with additional libraries specifically for building erlang libraries with native C bindings.

⁠Usage

NOTE: This image sets up a default user, with home set to /opt/app and owned by that user. The working directory is also set to $HOME. It is highly recommended that you add a USER default instruction to the end of your Dockerfile so that your app runs in a non-elevated context.

To boot straight to a prompt in the image:

$ docker run --rm -it --user=root marksargento/alpine-erlang erl
Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.1.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe]

Eshell V10.1.1  (abort with ^G)
1>

Extending for your own application:

FROM marksargento/alpine-erlang:latest

USER default

CMD ./bin/yourapp foreground
