We currently build SpiceDB container images based on distroless which ships an extremely minimal environment (it doesn't even include a shell). This makes debugging quite difficult if you aren't using a platform with debugging built-in (e.g. Kubernetes has
kubectl debug
).Users today could write their own Dockerfiles that copy the SpiceDB binary from our image into a new base image (e.g. Alpine or Debian) to work around this, but it'd require that build their own images.
We could offer variants of our images using the distroless debug base so that debugging is as simple as changing their image name to
authzed/spicedb:$VERSION-debug
