Who's using Docker Alpine? about docker-alpine

[bean5]

Can this be closed, @progrium? Yes, it is used...

[jumanjiman]

several repos at:

• https://github.com/jumanjihouse?tab=repositories (several are used at $dayjob, such as duoauthproxy and puppet-on-coreos)
• https://github.com/jumanjiman?tab=repositories (some forks from jumanjihouse and a few additional)

there may be a couple open-source repos at:

• https://github.com/ISEexchange/repositories

[msaraiva]

All Erlang/Elixir images at:

[gigablah]

Pie.co uses Alpine in our Docker images.

They're not public, but I use basically the same workflow in my personal images:

• https://github.com/gigablah/alpine-dev (development image)
• https://github.com/gigablah/alpine-base (base image, uses dev image to build the s6 suite)
• https://github.com/gigablah/alpine-php (sample application image)

[veggiemonk]

Used it to build node.js app meant to be used internally and just for web developer. I don't know if that counts ❓

[ticosax]

At lock8 we use it to serve nginx
https://github.com/lock8/nginx-in-docker

[fermayo]

At Tutum we use it for our hello-world (https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/tutum/hello-world/) and for some small tools, but cannot use it in more images (even if we wanted to) due to the issues with "DNS search" (which breaks our service discovery system).

[pires]

All my updated docker-* repos use it. Started using since busybox moved too.

[neilellis]

We use it for https://github.com/Sillelien/base-alpine which in turn we use for https://github.com/Sillelien/s3-conf https://github.com/Sillelien/base-java https://github.com/Sillelien/docktor https://github.com/Sillelien/tutum-cron https://github.com/Sillelien/rsync-store

Although I'm starting to use a stripped down jessie image more and more for ease of compatability: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/sillelien/jessy/ and https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/sillelien/jess/

[KyleJamesWalker]

I'm using it for my personal dev (if that counts):

[LoicMahieu]

I am using alpine-node from https://github.com/mhart/alpine-node
Depends on gliderlabs/alpine

[ozbillwang]

I play docker-2048, only 8M with Alpine linux.

Recently I re-write the Dockerfile for seagull (a friendly Web UI to manage docker)

I change Dockerfile with Alpine Linux, and update in my fork. New image is only 171MB.

$ docker images |grep seagull
sydops/seagull                  latest      d24ca67818e9        37 seconds ago       171.6 MB
tobegit3hub/seagull             latest      38bfd833ae80        6 weeks ago          548.5 MB

Updated Dockerfile is here:
https://github.com/SydOps/seagull/blob/master/Dockerfile

original Dockerfile is here:

[squeaky-pl]

https://upclose.me/ is running haproxy, nginx, python api and background services, redis dockerized on top of these images

[techgaun]

We've several internal microservices where we're using the images based on docker-alpine. Little bit of customization but still smaller base image (~30MB max).

[cameronmalek]

redbarradio.net and all the rest of my clients are on alpine-based images (for the most part)

[mboersma]

The Deis open source PaaS uses Alpine as the basis of (nearly) all its components. Smaller, faster, better.

[GottZ]

i'm using it for wrapping docker around my private applications and i'm doing emberjs development inside one of theese containers.

i love the fact how lightweight this container is. everyone should know about it!

[kenXengineering]

I'm looking into using it to trim a private node.js app image from 827.7 mb to 154.5 mb. Can prob get it smaller yet!

[garywiz]

We are using the following alpine-based images, which include a very lean process manager we've standardised on among about 20 clients. We use the official alpine image as the starting point to build...

• alpinebase (55MB) - A base image used for other builds which includes Python3. Based upon official alpine.
• alpinejava (215MB) - An Oracle 8 Java image derived from alpinebase that is used as the base image for many Java applications our clients are writing.

Though most images we deploy for clients are stored in their private repos, we have a couple public images we've given clients as samples of how to build configurable images based upon the above:

• docker-keybox (240MB) - An fully-configurable image for Sean Kavanagh's excellent KeyBox utility. Based upon alpinejava, above. Our enterprise clients have relied upon this a lot.
• docker-grav (95MB) - A php/nginx stack, fully configured and containing the Grav flat-file content management system. Based upon alpinebase, above.

We've taken a bit of criticism for our approach to using Docker (we violate some of the sacred rules), but our clients have had excellent experiences, so we're pretty happy with them.

We do like alpine A LOT as a foundation. We have an entire family of images which are all compatible built on Ubuntu, CentOS, and Alpine, and the small size and agility of the Alpine distro has been fantastic.

You asked! lol

[paulrutter]

We use the docker-alpine image as a base to run Node.js and PhantomJS in a as small as possible image, so our clients can run their own javascript code in a sandboxed environment (the docker container).

[BrianHicks]

We're using alpine for most of our work on Mantl (https://github.com/ciscocloud and https://github.com/asteris-llc) We're finding it ideal for dynamically scheduled workloads since it's so small. :)

Fluentd, a.k.a. one of Docker's logging driver, now uses Alpine Linux for official image.

[Toilal]

Alpine based images for many languages:

https://github.com/iron-io/dockers

[tboerger]

Nearly all containers at https://github.com/dockhippie use https://github.com/dockhippie/alpine as a base image which is based on the official alpine edge image.

[PHLAK]

Been building all my recent images on Alpine. Check them out: https://hub.docker.com/u/phlak/

[olliefreeman]

Oxford BRC Informatics, just discovered you for our build. Fantastic. Although using @frol alpine jdk8 releases on top have discovered Gradle won't work due to Failed to load native library 'libnative-platform.so' for Linux amd64.

Edit: seems to be a gradle 2.11 issue...gradle 2.9 works

[JurrianFahner]

I'm using it for my personal project: https://github.com/JurrianFahner/gitserver/blob/master/Dockerfile
It would be nice, if there would be support for Java in alpine.

[frol]

Salford Systems is using Alpine for internal processes (testing and helpers).

http://dots.org.ua/ is a local Ukrainian non-profit platform for programming contests (IOI, ACM, and training), and it is using Alpine as a base image for almost all included compilers (GCC, FreePascal, OpenJDK, OracleJDK, Mono, Ruby, Python, Scala, Kotlin, Go, Bash, PHP, Nim) to run solutions in sandbox containers. This is why I have all those images in my profile and maintain them.

[deviantony]

The Skynet project uses Alpine image for all it's Python components.

[MaerF0x0]

Leftronic uses gliderlabs/alpine:latest to build golang binaries. Then we put the binary in an alpine:latest container for running in dev/prod .

Check us out: https://www.leftronic.com

Sparefoot is using it on our partnership platform here: http://partners.sparefoot.com/amex/

[webRat]

http://getwrecked.com/ is using it for 2 clients projects.

[pierreozoux]

I think now, it is broadly used :) Is this topic still relevant?

FreshRSS (an open-source, self-hosted RSS feed aggregator) is using Alpine Linux for its official image, with a great size reduction compared to previous versions using another base image 👍
