This image is based on Alpine Linux image, which is only a 5MB image, and contains glibc
to enable
proprietary projects compiled against glibc
(e.g. OracleJDK, Anaconda) work on Alpine. It has the added of benefit of being correctly versioned with semver (unlike most docker images).
This image includes some quirks to make glibc
work side by side with musl
libc
(default in Apline).
This image is intended to be a base image for your projects, so you may use it like this:
FROM gitbook/alpine-glibc
COPY ./my_app /usr/local/bin/my_app
$ docker build -t my_app .
