# ghc-musl
This repository provides Docker images with GHC compiled with `musl`;
therefore can be used to create fully static Haskell binaries without
`glibc` dependency on any platform which can run Docker (x86_64). Powered
by [ghcup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/).
Images come with `ghc` and `cabal` executables alongside with commonly
used libraries and build tools. They can also be used with the `stack`
build tool using its Docker integration.
Here are the latest images currently [published in Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/utdemir/ghc-musl/tags):
* utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc944
* utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc925
* utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc902
* utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc8107
* utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc884
## Usage
### cabal-install
Mount the project directory to the container, and use `cabal-install`
with `--enable-executable-static` flag inside the container:
```
$ cd myproject/
$ docker run -itv $PWD:/mnt utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc944
sh$ cd /mnt
sh$ cabal new-update
sh$ cabal new-build --enable-executable-static
```
You can also set `executable-static` [option](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cabal-project.html#cfg-field-executable-static) on your `cabal.project` file.
### stack
Use below arguments, or set the relevant options on your `stack.yaml`:
```
stack build \
--ghc-options ' -static -optl-static -optl-pthread -fPIC' \
--docker --docker-image "utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc944" \
--no-nix
```
Make sure to pick an image with the GHC version compatible with the
Stackage resolver you are using.
Follow https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3420 for
more details on static compilation using the Stack build tool.
### Example session with GHC
Below shell session shows how to start a pre-compiled docker container
and compile a simple `Hello.hs` as a static executable:
```
$ docker run -itv $PWD:/mnt utdemir/ghc-musl:v25-ghc944
bash-4.4# cd /mnt/
bash-4.4# cat Hello.hs
main = putStrLn "Hello"
bash-4.4# ghc --make -optl-static -optl-pthread Hello.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Hello.hs, Hello.o )
Linking Hello ...
bash-4.4# ls -al Hello
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1185056 Aug 11 16:55 Hello
bash-4.4# file Hello
Hello: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped
bash-4.4# ldd ./Hello
ldd: ./Hello: Not a valid dynamic program
```
The result can be executed on different Linux systems:
```
$ docker run -itv $PWD:/mnt alpine
# /mnt/Hello
Hello
```
```
$ docker run -itv $PWD:/mnt centos
[root@94eb29dcdfe6 /]# /mnt/Hello
Hello
```
## Development
Feel free to open an issue or send a PR to add a library or support a
newer compiler version.
The build process is orchestrated using [Earthly][]. Once it is installed
(or obtained via "nix-shell -p earthly"), you can use below command to build
and test all images:
```
earthly --allow-privileged +all
```
Note: `--allow-privileged` is only necessary because we use Docker-in-Docker
project to test if the generated images work with `stack`'s Docker support.
You can use the following command to disable Stack tests so that
`--allow-privileged` is not necessary:
```
earthly --build-arg TEST_STACK=0 +all
```
The following command updates `README.md`:
```
earthly --artifact +readme/README.md
```
