matevzmihalic/scratch-improved repository overview

⁠scratch-improved

is a Docker image created from scratch that includes:

• user and group app
• ca-certificates
• /tmp folder

It is intended to be used as a base image for statically compiled binaries, for example Go binaries with CGO disabled.

⁠Example

FROM golang:1.13

COPY . .
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOARCH=arm64 go build -o /main

FROM matevzmihalic/scratch-improved:2019-10

COPY --from=0 /main /
ENTRYPOINT ["/main"]
CMD ["--help"]

This example docker file will cross-compile go code for arm64 architecture in first stage and in next stage copy the compiled binary and set it as entrypoint.

When you run a container from that image it will execute the binary /main as user app.

This docker file can be built on any machine and the resulting image can be ran on arm64 machine or on whatever you set the GOARCH to.

⁠Updates

Every month a new tag will be created (in format year-month) which will include updated ca-certificates.
