This provides a very small CLI system image based on Tiny Core Linux developed at The Core Project. It contains following Core x86/x86_64 packages
- rootfs.gz (or rootfs64.gz): contains base system binaries and a file system layout
- squashfs-tools.tcz: contains a squashfs builder and expander
These original packages are found under
and Dockerfile of these images are found at

The easiest way to install the image is pulling it from Docker Hub repositories like following
docker pull tatsushid/tinycore:8.0-x86or
docker pull tatsushid/tinycore:8.0-x86_64Just run
docker run -it tatsushid/tinycore:8.0-x86or
docker run -it tatsushid/tinycore:8.0-x86_64To install tcz packages into the container and use them, please run tce-load
command in it like following
tce-load -wic bash.tczor run the container with privilege mode like following
docker run -it --privileged tatsushid/tinycore:8.0-x86Once it starts with privilege mode, you can run the package manager like
tce-abNow Docker doesn't support privilege mode at image building but this image
includes patched tce-load which works without privilege mode by using
unsquashfs internally instead of mounting squashfs on a loop back device so
to install packages, please use tce-load with -c option
