primeimages/haskell repository overview

⁠haskell

⁠Description

This image contains a build of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC)⁠ on a Fedora base image. Amongst others, it's used by a number of solutions in the Primes project⁠. It was created as a separate base image because the GHC build time was prohibitive for it to be built as part of the Primes CI process.

Please note that there is also a Docker Official Haskell Image⁠, which should probably be used for most purposes. This image was created because the author of one of the Primes solutions concluded that a custom build on Fedora yielded better performance in the context of Primes than the official image did.

⁠Usage

To run the haskell image as is, use the following command:

docker run -ti primeimages/haskell

To use the haskell image as a base image for a Docker image of your own creation, make sure the first line of your Dockerfile looks as follows:

FROM primeimages/haskell:<version>

Replace <version> with the GHC version you want to use that's available in the image's Tags list, or latest for the latest available version.
