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.

If you have trouble pulling the image from the Docker's default hub.docker.com, try gitlab.com, where this project is primarily maintained: registry.gitlab.com/prantlf/docker-alpine-glibc.

• latest, 3.14, 3.13, 3.12

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

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.

The local image is built as alpine-glibc and pushed to the docker hub as prantlf/alpine-glibc:latest.

# Remove an old local image: make clean # Check the `Dockerfile`: make lint # Build a new local image: make build # Enter an interactive shell inside the created image: make run # Tag the local image for pushing: make tag # Login to the docker hub: make login # Push the local image to the docker hub: make push
