sartner/java8-alpine repository overview

⁠Minified Docker image with Java

Basic Docker⁠ image to run Java⁠ applications.
This image is based on AlpineLinux⁠ to keep the size dow, yet smaller images do exist.
Includes BASH, since many Java applications like to have convoluted BASH start-up scripts.

⁠Versions/tags

All tags upgraded to alpine:3.4

⁠MAJOR TAGGING UPDATE

To allow selection of specific Java version, a major retagging is taking place. Old tags will remain for compatibility sake, but are no longer documented.
:8,:7 and :latest are all valid, but are not "locked" to any specific Java version / patch set - i.e. depending on when you pull the :8 tagged image, for example, you might end up with 8u102b14, 8u112b15, 8u121b13, etc.. Well, :7 no as much, since it's EOL and no more patches are released.

However specific :8uXXXbYY tags (such as :8u102b14, :8u112b15) will guarantee paricular MAJOR-MINOR-BUILD Java versions.
