Image built on Centos
presidenten opened this issue · comments
Could we please get images based on Centos 7?
this may not be happening anytime soon, because add a base image, you need to multiply the number of versions supported (21, 20, 19, 18), the maintaining work is doubling
Most of the other programming language images have support of debian, alpine and optional windowsservercore ; do you @presidenten see any official images have an option of Centos as base?
We have applications built to interact with Redhat, so a rewrite is kind of hefty. Thats the reason for this feature request. However. It turns out it was super easy to build a centos + erlang image, where we can build releases.
So Im closing this one.

that's very true; the purpose of this repo, since the very beginning (2015) was to provide convenience for beginner users, for those who were familiar with other PL language or with docker, give them easier chance to start and enjoy with Erlang; but it never means the only way to use Erlang with Docker;
for Advanced users, there are Erlang releases concept, existed much longer time (20 years?) before Docker/Container was popular
This docker-erlang-example repo also existed before, and still serves as good examples
