Erlang/OTP on Alpine Docker image
This repo provides a Dockerfile for building Alpine Docker image with Erlang/OTP installed.
The Dockerfile is almost an exact copy of the one at https://github.com/bitwalker/alpine-erlang: all credits go to Paul Schoenfelder and contributors to that repo.
Docker images are hosted at Dockerhub.
Why another Alpine-based Erlang Docker image?
This image was mainly created for running in CI services like CircleCI, which can use Docker images as a base for running tasks.
The difference between this and bitwalker's and offical is the versioning scheme - see below for more information.
Versioning
Docker image tags are exactly the same as versions of the OTP release they include. This means that
there is no image tagged 21, but there is 21.0. The intention here is that the user knows exactly
which version of Erlang/OTP they're using (if they care about this kind of stuff).
Dockerfile for each major OTP release is kept on its own branch (i.e. all versions from 20 release
line are kept on branch 20) and particular versions are marked with git tags. Dockerfile for the
current release line is kept on master.
