nickblah/luajit repository overview

⁠luajit-docker

Minimal, automated, and up-to-date Docker images for different LuaJIT versions.

Provides variants for:

• Debian, Alpine, Ubuntu, and CentOS base images
• With LuaRocks
• LuaJIT built with Lua 5.2 compatibility mode

New versions of LuaJIT and LuaRocks should automatically be detected and trigger new docker images to built, tagged, and pushed by a daily GitHub Actions workflow⁠.

⁠Installing C Libraries

These base images are minimal, so they only contain the necessary dependencies for running Lua and installing pure-Lua LuaRocks modules. If you need to install LuaRocks modules that include C extensions or need compiling/building, then you'll first need to install the necessary dependencies (for example, make, gcc, etc). The exact dependencies may vary depending on the module's requirements, but to install basic build dependencies, the following installation commands can be used:

• For Debian based images:

  apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential
  

  Copy
• For Alpine based images:

  apk add --no-cache build-base
  

  Copy
