sirmark/golang repository overview

⁠Go (golang) Docker image with Alpine-glibc

This image based on Go (golang)⁠ official image, and contains glibc to enable proprietary projects compiled against glibc 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.

⁠Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

⁠Docker Pull Command

docker pull sirmark/golang:1.26-alpine-glibc2.42

⁠Usage Example

Pull and run.

$ docker pull sirmark/golang:1.26-alpine-glibc2.42
$ docker run --rm -it sirmark/golang:1.26-alpine-glibc2.42

Use in your Dockerfile, writing something along the lines of the following will compile and run your project:

FROM sirmark/golang:1.26-alpine-glibc2.42

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# pre-copy/cache go.mod for pre-downloading dependencies and only redownloading them in subsequent builds if they change
COPY go.mod go.sum ./
RUN go mod download && go mod verify

COPY . .
RUN go build -v -o /usr/local/bin/app ./...

CMD ["app"]

Then, build and run the Docker image:

$ docker build -t my-golang-app .
$ docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-golang-app
