prantlf/alpine-glibc repository overview

⁠prantlf/alpine-glibc

Docker⁠ image: Alpine Linux with GNU C Library (glibc) for compatibility

This image⁠ is supposed to serve as a base for small images (Alpine Linux⁠) which need to include tools built against GNU C Library (glibc)⁠. This image is built automatically on the top of the tag latest from the Alpine repository⁠, so that it is always based on the latest Alpine Linux⁠. The package alpine-pkg-glibc⁠ has to be updated from time to time by editing the Dockerfile and triggering a new build manually.

⁠Tags

• latest⁠, 3.14, 3.13, 3.12

⁠Install

docker pull prantlf/alpine-glibc
docker pull prantlf/alpine-glibc:3.14

⁠Use

You can create your own image based on this one by referring to it from your Dockerfile:

FROM prantlf/alpine-glibc:latest

The final image can use the English locale by setting the environment variable LANG to C.UTF-8 or en_US.UTF-8.

See the git-p4 Docker image repository⁠ for an example.
