Summary

The gnu-on-alpine Docker image is designed to support shell scripting using GNU tools such as the bash shell, gawk, coreutils, and findutils, while keeping the image size relatively small. Alpine Linux is used as the base image. The gnu-on-alpine image adds bash, findutils, coreutils, and gawk on top of Alpine Linux.

Summary

The alpine-plus-plus Docker image is motivated by Github-actions implemented primarily with bash and shell utilities, but is also potentially applicable to any use-case where you primarily need bash and GNU tools like gawk, etc, as well as git, but also want to keep the image size relatively small. Alpine Linux is used as the base image. Alone, Alpine almost suits this purpose However, it lacks the bash shell, and commonly used GNU tools such as findutils, gawk, etc. It also lacks git. The alpine-plus-plus image adds git, bash, findutils, coreutils, and gawk on top of Alpine Linux.
