Base Image

This project contains necesary files for building a basic Docker image. Said image is used by the GIBD (Grupo de Investigacion en Base de Datos) at UTN FRCU, Argentina, as a parent image for derived Docker images.

This image is based on Linux Alpine (alpine:3.4) in order to be as lightweight as possible, thereby optimizing bandwidth usage.

Software

Currently, this image includes various packages required in a so called normal linux development environment, such as:

• curl
• bash
• unzip
• wget
• glibc2.23-r3
• openssh
• many more...

Programming languages

Regarding language support, it provides both Java and Python binaries in path, in the following flavours (for now at least, more are planned):

• Java Development Kit 1.8.0_112-b15
• Python 2.7.12
• Python Pip 8.1.2

Tags

Our naming convention is as follows:

base/so_java_python

where:

• "so" represents the underlying operative system. Mainly alpine.
• "java" describes the shipped jdk version.
• "python" describes the shipped python version.

As of 12/13/2016, the following tags are available:

• alpine_jdk1.8.112_py2.7.12

Usage
