stretch

The Debian Stretch container (Docker hub) enriched with few handy utilities, locales, cron, dumb-init and runit.

This work is a work from scratch, but is inspired by many approaches of the others I found clever, intuitive, and following the best practices, providing these are keen on simplicity, usability, security and freedom of use. See the credits file and contribute to be added.

Quick Usage

Clone & build, run bash to explore:

$ docker build https://github.com/multicast/stretch
$ docker run --rm -ti mkovac/stretch bash

Since the image is intended to be used as base image, I suppose more common usage would be in your own Dockerfile in the form:

FROM mkovac/stretch:latest
...

Build-time options

You can export environment variables found in the following list:

• ftp_proxy
• http_proxy
• https_proxy

The values for these variables will not end up in the resulting image.

Run-time options

You can define environment variables via --env argument found in the following list:

• ftp_proxy
• http_proxy
• https_proxy
• BASE_DEBUG
  • zero to higher numbers - to get more and more verbose
• BASE_NOEXIT
  • set to 1 not to exit on startup errors
