Different architectures and versions
This image is build with latest Alpine Linux image and glibc 2.28 and available for amd64 architecture (most modern desktops/laptops). Also most applications, distributed with glibc are deleted from image to save space (they usually not needed in docker images anyway). If you need image with different version of Apline Linux or glibc, or for different architecture, you can download original Dockerfile, edit glibc/Alpine version and build for preferred architecture, tested to work properly on ARM64 and ARM32 architectires.
Usage Example
This image is intended to be a base image for your projects, so you may use it like this:
FROM sunx/alpine-glibc
COPY ./app /usr/local/bin/my_app
CMD /usr/local/bin/app$ docker build -t my_app .
