Quick start

Launch a Pike interactive interpreter :

$ docker run -it --rm --user pike pikelang/pike:stable-latest pike
Pike v8.0 release 1116 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend)
>

To go further

Have a look at the sample directory, which provide simplest cases to run your Pike code inside a container.

Note: A pike system user is provided in these images, so that the Pike interpreter can be run without ludicrous privileges. However, since this images are meant to serve as a basis for more complex pieces of software, neither USER nor WORKDIR are enforced upon runs. Use of proper values are left to the discretion of the user.

Stable : Pike 8.0.x
