Alpine Linux from Scratch
Build Status:
Docker Hub:
Image Size:
This project builds an Alpine Linux docker image from scratch using the upstream filesystem image. The official Alpine images on docker hub can lag a little behind the official releases. I would prefer that my base image is up to date with the latest version of all packages.
The build script adds a user called "worker". The Dockerfile uses this user so your workload isn't running as root in the container.
Each build is checked for vulnerabilities using Aqua Security's microscanner.
If you're worried about your docker image supply chain I would recommend that you fork this repo or use it as inspiration for your own project. This should allow you to be confident that you are using the latest version of Alpine Linux with all available updates. I am not suggesting that these images are secure. You need to do your own homework on that.
Support
I will maintain this while I am using images based off it on a best effort basis. If you don't understand what's happening in the scripts, then I recommend you use the official images.
