# Alpine with Docker

This Container image [(yobasystems/alpine-docker)](https://hub.docker.com/r/yobasystems/alpine-docker/) is based on the minimal [Alpine Linux](https://alpinelinux.org/) with [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) pre-installed, or even better Docker-in-Docker (dind).
### Alpine Version 3.23.0 (Released 2025-12-03)
##### Docker Version 29.1.2

## 🏔️ What is Alpine Linux?
Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution built around musl libc and BusyBox. The image is only 5 MB in size and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications. Read more about Alpine Linux here and you can see how their mantra fits in right at home with Container images.
## 🐳 What is Docker in Docker?
Although running Docker inside Docker is generally not recommended, there are some legitimate use cases, such as development of Docker itself.
Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualisation on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
## ✨ Features
- Minimal size only, minimal layers
- Memory usage is minimal on a simple install.
## 🏗️ Architectures
- `:amd64`, `:x86_64` - 64 bit Intel/AMD (x86_64/amd64)
- `:arm64v8`, `:aarch64` - 64 bit ARM (ARMv8/aarch64)
- `:arm32v7`, `:armhf` - 32 bit ARM (ARMv7/armhf)
## 🏷️ Tags
- `:latest` latest branch based (Automatic Architecture Selection)
- `:main` main branch usually inline with latest
- `:dind` latest branch with docker-in-docker
- `:amd64`, `:x86_64` amd64 based on latest tag but amd64 architecture
- `:dind-amd64`, `:dind-x86_64` amd64 based on latest tag but amd64 architecture and includes docker-in-docker
- `:armhf`, `:arm32v7` Armv7 based on latest tag but arm architecture
- `:dind-armhf`, `:dind-arm32v7` Armv7 based on latest tag but arm architecture and includes docker-in-docker
- `:aarch64`, `:arm64v8` Armv8 based on latest tag but arm64 architecture
- `:dind-aarch64`, `:dind-arm64v8` Armv8 based on latest tag but arm64 architecture and includes docker-in-docker

## 🚀 How to use this image
#### Usage
Use like you would any other base image:
```
FROM yobasystems/alpine-docker
RUN apk add --no-cache ......
.........
.......
....
..
.
```
or maybe a docker run command:
```
docker run -it --name=dind --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock yobasystems/alpine-docker:dind /bin/sh
```
or if you want to use a docker-compose.yml:
```
version: '3.9'
services:
alpine-docker:
image: yobasystems/alpine-docker:dind
container_name: alpine-docker
privileged: true
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
```
Simply create a docker-compose.yml file with the above content and run docker-compose up -d to start the container.
