croneter / alpine-curl-jq

Alpine Docker Image with curl, jq, postgres-client, bash

Very slim image that provides bash-access to both curl and jq as well as the postgres-client and tzdata to set a timezone via the environment variable TZ=${timezone}. xz for file compression. Image is automatically built on a daily basis.

Use Cases:

• Quick curl during multi step build config
• curl any api and easily deal with the api's responses if they are in a JSON format. My use case: update the dynamic DNS configuration of Cloudflare
• Automate backups of PostgreSQL-databases
