I have created a docker image.
However the image size is not small (~500MB).
I wonder if others have a suitable dockerfile.
All i want is to install the current dmd release.

Does somebody have something similar?
Does somebody need something similar?

My dockerfile:

```
FROM ubuntu:latest
MAINTAINER Jan Hönig <jan.hoenig@fau.de>

RUN apt-get update &&  apt-get install curl build-essential -y \
 && apt-get clean \
 && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN latest=$(curl -sS http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/LATEST) \
  && echo "DMD Release: $latest" \\
  && curl "http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2020/dmd_${latest}-0_amd64.deb" -o dmd.deb \
  && dpkg -i "dmd.deb" \
  && rm "dmd.deb"
```

If you really need small images, you could switch to Alpine, but MUSL c could lead to headaches ;)

There are also the official docker images https://hub.docker.com/u/dlang2

What is your goal? Do you want to compile s.th. in your docker image? Then you can have a layered docker file to reduce the size.

Kind regards

I just wanted to know, whether i am doing something completely wrong.
Oh i haven't found these docker images. I did only search for "dlang" not "dlang2".
Thanks a lot!

You might also use debian:slim as base image, which might reduce the size.

Kind regards

If you want a small image, Alpine Linux is definitely the way to go.
You can find `gcc-gdc` (however it's an old frontend, v2.076) in Alpine Linux's main repository.

Additionally, if you can find the latest `ldc` in the `testing` repository (https://forum.dlang.org/thread/oznltcuropwzxaakptdy@forum.dlang.org).

I intend to add DMD, just didn't have to get to it yet. If you want to do it yourself, here's the APKBUILD: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/merge_requests/2880
