pyunramura/alpine-s6 repository overview

⁠pyunramura/alpine-s6

⁠How to use this image

This container is configured to work as a base image for other Docker containers to build on top of. It is based on Alpine linux⁠ with s6-overlay⁠.

Alpine Linux is optimized to be extremely light on resources while maintaining the tools you would expect in a linux distribution with none of the fluff. In other words, it's built for Docker. Justcontiners s6-overlay is similarly optimized to maintain low resource usage while featuring robust process management. Additionally this container is heavily modeled after the fantastic linuxserver.io⁠ containers, but with slightly more aggressive space-saving techniques.

Feedback is welcome and encouraged as I'm always looking to improve my containers.

⁠Usage Example

docker run -d --rm --name=alpine pyunramura/alpine-s6

⁠Parameters

The parameters below are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side.

For example with -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from external to internal of the container. So -p 80:8080 would expose port 8080 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 80 http://192.168.x.x:80⁠ would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 8080.

• -p 8080 - an example port for connecting to services on port 8080 of the container
• --name - human readable alias you want to run this container under
