Ubuntu Docker images.

"Dev" Image

This image is based on the official "minimal" docker image from Canonical. It comes with essential dev tools installed. It includes language support for C/C++, Python, Node.js, C# (.Net Core), Go, Java, Scala, Kotlin, Swift, and Rust. The dev image also comes with PostgreSQL and MongoDB installed (although they might need some configurations).

You can find pre-built images on https://hub.docker.com/r/tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04/

The name of the current dev image is tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04:0.2.4-dev.

docker pull tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04:0.2.4-dev
docker run -it -p 8000:80 -p 52022:22 -p 55432:5432 -p 57017:27017 --name my-dev-ubuntu tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04:0.2.4-dev

The first thing you may want to do after starting a container is to add a (non-sudo) user.

You can also modify the Dockerfile to suit your needs, and build your own image:

docker build -f ./18.04-dev/Dockerfile .
docker run -it -p 8000:80 -p 52022:22 -p 55432:5432 -p 57017:27017 --name my-own-ubuntu <image_id>

"Dev-Workstation" Image (Experimental)

The "dev-workstation" image is built on top of the dev image. The workstation image has full ubuntu-desktop package installed, and it includes other GUI-based dev tools such as Eclipse, Gimp, etc.

You can find pre-built images on https://hub.docker.com/r/tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04/

The name of the current dev image is tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04:0.2.4-dev-workstation.

docker pull tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04:0.2.4-dev-workstation
docker run -it -p 8000:80 -p 52022:22 -p 5901:5901 -p 55432:5432 -p 57017:27017 --name my-workstation-ubuntu tinylinux/ubuntu-18.04:0.2.4-dev-workstation

How to Create Custom Image

Instead of creating a new image by modifying the Dockerfile, you can customize a running container instance, and then create a new image.

docker commit <container_id> <name>  

What Packages are Included?

In order to see what packages are currently installed in these images, run the following command in the container:

apt list --installed

Note: "0.2.4" refers to the version of the Dockerfiles, not the version of the images/artifacts. A Dockerfile (in this repo) with the same version may produce different Docker images (possibly including different versions of packages/libraries). If you would like to create the same/reproducible image (as is normally done with Docker), then you'll need to modify the Dockerfiles to include specific package versions. The versions/tags of the images on the Docker Hub, however, uniquely identify specific images.
