Create Alpine/APK package for Deno about deno_docker HOT 9 OPEN

I finally managed to get Deno installed into an existing Alpine image without too much complexity. Piggybacking on the deno:alpine image did work, there were just more resources that needed to be copied.

Here's what I did:

FROM denoland/deno:alpine-1.24.1 AS deno

FROM docker:20.10.16-dind-alpine3.16   # or whatever alpine base image you want
COPY --from=deno /bin/deno /usr/local/bin/deno
COPY --from=deno /usr/glibc-compat /usr/glibc-compat
COPY --from=deno /lib/* /lib/
COPY --from=deno /lib64/* /lib64/
COPY --from=deno /usr/lib/* /usr/lib/

Now works perfectly when running:

docker buildx build --platform=linux/amd64 . --tag test-deno-alpine
docker run -it --rm --entrypoint=deno --platform=linux/amd64 test-deno-alpine

from deno_docker.

Have you considered using deno's docker image? https://hub.docker.com/r/denoland/deno

from deno_docker.

Also i believe denoland/deno#3711 should be resolved first

from deno_docker.

Using the denoland/deno:alpine image may be an option, but when using this setup to build docker images, it means we also need docker-in-docker. The easiest way to do that is to start with the docker:dind image and add any additional tooling needed on top of that.

Of course, there may already be a good way to create this setup that I'm not aware of. If there is, providing it on the deno install site would also be awesome. 🙂

I was thinking something more like https://github.com/denoland/deno_docker#using-your-own-base-image
Though i've never heard of dind

Whoops, I was not aware of that repository! This is definitely a good example to follow (though an APK would still be a welcomed simplification).

In case anyone else runs into this: The methodology on that page works great when using a base image with ubuntu, but I'm not able to get it to work on alpine. Running deno in the container results in errors about missing dependencies.

My dockerfile:

FROM denoland/deno:alpine-1.24.1 AS deno

FROM docker:20.10.17-alpine3.16
RUN apk add libgcc qemu
COPY --from=deno /tini /tini
COPY --from=deno /bin/deno /usr/local/bin/deno

(I also tried deno:bin and deno:distroless, no luck there either)

Built container and ran deno within it:

docker buildx build --platform=linux/amd64 . --tag test-deno-alpine
docker run -it --rm --entrypoint=deno --platform=linux/amd64 test-deno-alpine

I get the following errors:

Error loading shared library ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory (needed by /usr/local/bin/deno)

It looks like this is because glibc, and I'm not sure why that's so difficult to get to work properly on alpine. The deno:alpine image looks like it's using a base image that already has this resolved.

I have moved this to deno_docker as any solution should be addressed in this repo.
