Support alpine based images (Java 8, 11, 16, 17)

[llamahunter]

The previous adoptopenjdk project supported compact alpine base images. Please restore support for them, at least using musl, if not glibc.

[tellison]

This is being discussed on the Temurin build issue 2688.

You can follow the progress of each Java 17 platform release here.

[karianna]

• Java 8
• Java 11
• Java 16
• Java 17

[llamahunter]

It seems that java 11 musl/alpine support is now available? Plans to publish as a temurin container?
adoptium/jdk11u#7
Java 8 progress seems ongoing
adoptium/jdk8u#8

[karianna]

We're having to do some serious testing first, but yes eventually we'll release these (hopefully Oct PSU timeframe).

[gdams]

@llamahunter the JDK11 alpine images are now live:

➜  ~ docker run -it eclipse-temurin:11-alpine java --version
openjdk 11.0.13 2021-10-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.13+8 (build 11.0.13+8)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.13+8 (build 11.0.13+8, mixed mode)

[mkemmerz]

Will there also be Alpine JRE images? We heavily relied on the now depcreated adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:jre8 and jre11.

[gdams]

@mkemmerz yes there will be Alpine JRE images for JDK11 (and JDK8 eventually)

[christophsturm]

will the alpine images also support arm64?

[karianna]

will the alpine images also support arm64?

Not at this stage, we'd be happy to accept a contribution for this.

[christophsturm]

cool. where would i start when i would like to contribute this?

[karianna]

Do you have access to any Linux ARM systems?

[christophsturm]

i have a m1 mac, it can build arm64 docker images.

[karianna]

OK, that might work? See if you can get VirtualBox or Parallels running, and start-up an Alpine ARM docker image (https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine).

[christophsturm]

building alpine based images arm64 images works fine even on macos, but It seems the temurin update scripts (update_all.sh and others) work only on linux. so I will probably need to try it on parallels.

[devoto13]

Isn't the problem here is that there are no arm64 binaries for Alpine available? https://adoptium.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk17&jvmVariant=hotspot

This is the most closely related issue which I've found upstream - adoptium/temurin-build#2497.

[llamahunter]

I think this arm64 stuff is off topic for this issue?
Still hoping for java 8 alpine support soon.

[llamahunter]

Is an alpine version of java 8 now available? The other github issue I was tracking for this was recently closed, but I don't see the image listed on https://github.com/docker-library/docs/blob/master/eclipse-temurin/README.md#supported-tags-and-respective-dockerfile-links

Ah, perhaps just merged today to the release branch? adoptium/jdk8u#4

I guess that means an update to this issue and the supported tags page is coming sometime in the next several days.

[llamahunter]

I still don't see a jdk8 alpine image.

[karianna]

We're still working on that one Cheers, Martijn

I have several aarch64 machines available with Docker.
How can I help getting those alpine jdk8+ images published?

[gdams]

Alpine images for JDK8u will be available once docker-library/official-images#12000 is merged

• Java 8

• Java 11

• Java 16

• Java 17

@karianna / @gdams I think it would be helpful to add the tick in this comment here: #72 (comment)

At least that is the comment that I have bookmarked and checked every now and then. Unfortunately I cannot submit a PR to the comment as a suggested edit

[karianna]

Done!

[gounthar]

Thanks.
When will we see the results on Docker Hub?

[DRoppelt]

@gounthar you mean this one? https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-temurin?tab=tags&page=1&name=8-jdk-alpine

[gounthar]

Yes @DRoppelt , for all archs.

[gounthar]

Any news for archs different from linux/amd64?
Thanks.

[gounthar]

@karianna / @gdams I can see Adoptium supplies aarch64 Docker images (Ubuntu Focal, Centos 7), but I can't see any Alpine nor Debian images.
What is the blocking point?
How can I help?
Thanks.

[gdams]

@gounthar we're tracking Alpine in #158

There is currently no plan for Debian (see https://blog.adoptium.net/2021/08/using-jlink-in-dockerfiles/ for more information on how to copy the JDK into a base image of your choice)

[gounthar]

Thank you @gdams, I will follow the #158 too, and I'll have a look at the blogpost.
