alpine-cli

A minimal image for running Linux CLI utilities - shell scripts and similar. This is useful for both interactive purposes or as the basis for other utility images.

Quickstart

$ docker run -ti --rm ghcr.io/jswank/alpine-cli
~ $ ^D
exit

$ bin/cli --list
Available recipes:
    clean   # remove the persistent image
    default # run
    persist # run (or attach to) a perisent container {{n}}
    run     # run a temporary container based on {{image}}

A script, using casey/just is in bin/cli. It can be used to quickly start an ephemeral (or persistent) container:

$ bin/cli
~ $ ^D
exit

$ bin/cli persist
~ $ ls
~ $ 
exit

$ podman cp foo.json alpine-cli:/home/cli

$ bin/cli persist
~ $ ls
foo.json
~ $ 
exit
