This repo contains what is needed to build void-linux OCI container images. There are 3 images provided for each libc (glibc or musl):

• void-LIBC: This image contains far fewer packages and uses a noextract file to prevent certain directories from being added to the image. These images average 40-65MB.

• void-LIBC-full: Large image based on the base-container package and does not contain a noextract configuration. If you want something that is as close to a full void VM as possible, this is the image you want to start with.These images average 80-135MB.

• void-LIBC-busybox: This image is the same as the void-LIBC image above, but uses busybox instead of GNU coreutils. Note that this is not a well tested configuration with Void, but if you want a very small image, busybox is a good way to get it. These images average 15-40MB.

These images are available for the following OCI platforms:

• linux/amd64
• linux/386 (glibc only)
• linux/arm64
• linux/arm/v7
• linux/arm/v6

With docker and docker-buildx:

1. Install and set up docker and docker-buildx. If building multi-platform images, qemu-user-static, and binfmt-support are also needed:

xbps-install docker docker-buildx
ln -s /etc/sv/docker /var/service
# optional
xbps-install binfmt-support
ln -s /etc/sv/binfmt-support /var/service
xbps-install qemu-user-static

2. Build the image:

docker build --target "image-<default|full|busybox>" -f Containerfile --build-arg="LIBC=<glibc|musl>" . --tag <yourtag>

Note: To easily build multi-platform images, docker buildx bake can be used.

With podman:

1. Install and set up podman.
2. Build the image:

podman build --target "image-<default|full|busybox>" --build-arg="LIBC=<glibc|musl>" . --tag <yourtag>
