binpot is the repository holding Dockerfiles and Github workflows to statically build binaries for all CPU architectures supported by Docker. TL;DR ⏩ Usage: FROMalpine:3.14COPY --from=qmcgaw/binpot:helm /bin /usr/local/bin/helm Programs available Search programs on Docker Hub All Docker images and programs are built for every CPU architecture supported by Docker Initial situation 🤔 I developed VSCode development containers Dockerfiles for amd64 only, which covers most machines....
Alpine is tiny. The alpine:3.14 Docker image is only 5.6MB uncompressed on amd64. Alpine achieves this partly thanks to busybox, which Docker image busybox is only 1.24MB. Alpine comes with wget implemented in its Busybox multi-call binary. You can try it with: docker run -it --rm busybox wget But why isn’t curl implemented as well, or instead of wget?? 🤔 wget vs curl The following table shows some key differences between the two, comparing the two installs on Alpine by using...
buildkit is now included with Docker Desktop and the Docker buildx plugin. We can now build an image for multiple CPU architectures by using the flag --platform in the docker buildx build command. For example docker buildx build --platform=linux/amd64,linux/arm64 .. You can however keep on using the native build platform by using the --platform=${BUILDPLATFORM} flag in your Dockerfile’s FROM instruction. For example: FROM--platform=${BUILDPLATFORM} golang:1.16-alpine3.13 AS builderYou will usually specify the TARGETPLATFORM argument further down in the Docker build stage block....
