sirmark/alpine-glibc repository overview

⁠Alpine GNU C library (glibc) Docker image

This image is based on Alpine⁠ Linux official image, which is only a 5MB image, and contains glibc to enable proprietary projects compiled against glibc (e.g. OracleJDK, Anaconda) work on Alpine.

This image includes some quirks to make glibc⁠ work side by side with musl libc (default in Alpine Linux). glibc packages for Alpine Linux are prepared by Sasha Gerrand⁠ and the releases are published in sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc⁠ github repo.

If you need to update your libc library cache, use /usr/glibc-compat/sbin/ldconfig instead of the usual /sbin/ldconfig. You can also use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as on standard libc-based distributions.
