tnk4on/less repository overview

⁠less(pager): Container image

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/tnk4on/less⁠

This container image is used to build "less" from the source and run it as a container.

• Original source code: https://github.com/gwsw/less.git⁠

• This release is based on the version listed in the version.c⁠ file.

⁠Build

$ git clone https://github.com/tnk4on/less.git
$ cd less
$ podman build -t tnk4on/less .

• You can edit the version of the less in the Containerfile as necessary.
• This line: ENV VERSION=594

⁠Run

$ podman run --rm tnk4on/less --version | head -n 1
less 594x (POSIX regular expressions)
$ podman run --rm -it -v .:/tmp tnk4on/less <FILENAME>

⁠Copy the pre-built binary from inside the container

$ podman create --name less tnk4on/less
$ podman cp less:/root/usr/bin/less .
$ podman rm less
$ ./less --version |head -n 1
less 594x (POSIX regular expressions)

Note: Built with UBI by default, so RHEL or CentOS Stream may work.

less --header 1
less -h 1
