Docker images for Void Linux

Void Linux Docker Images

This repo contains the dockerfiles needed to build void-linux docker images. There are 5 images provided:

• full: Large image based on the base-minimal package and does not contain a noextract configuration. If you want something that is as close to a full void VM as possible, this is the image you want to start with. These images average 242MB

• thin: This image contains far fewer packages and uses a noextract file to prevent certain directories from being added to the image. These images average 40MB.

• thin-bb: This image is the same as the thin image above, but uses busybox instead of GNU coreutils. Note that this is not a well tested configuration with Void, but if you want minimalism without breaking xbps-pkgdb, busybox is a good way to get it given that these images average 34.4MB.

• mini: The mini image is the same as the thin image in terms of configuration, but all binaries and libraries a stripped. This brings the image size down to an average of 20MB, but the tradeoff is that xbps-pkdb will complain that the files no longer match their checksums.

• mini-bb: Same as thin-bb but stripped. Average size is 15MB.

Each image can also be built using the musl C library by passing an appropriate XBPS_ARCH value during the build. For comparison, here is the size of all images built for both architectures on x86_64.
