Support for AmazonLinux 2

Question

Support for AmazonLinux 2

mattBrzezinski opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

We at Invenia currently have a closed source build of Julia on amazonlinux:2. I was curious if we could get support officially for this, alternatively I would not mind learning and porting what we have to this package (might need some guidance on that).

I don't know that we want to expand the "official" support matrix much (unless we have something like the Julia project officially recommending Amazon Linux as the "best-supported" distribution or something), but I bet you could get pretty far by doing something like:

FROM amazonlinux:2
ENV JULIA_PATH /usr/local/julia
ENV PATH $JULIA_PATH/bin:$PATH
COPY --from=julia:1.8 $JULIA_PATH $JULIA_PATH

$ docker run --rm 35473a39cf47 julia --version
julia version 1.8.2

That’s perfectly fine! The other use case would be for supporting Julia Docker images on AWS Lambda more easily,

feel free to close this issue if you see fit!

Thanks - I'm going to close this for now, but hopefully it serves as a useful reference for folks in the future. 👍
