Provide image with only rustup

[synek317]

Do you think it would be possible to provide Dockerfile that only installs rustup?

It would be useful for people who are fine with stable rustup but would like to use any version of rust via rust-toolchain file.

I'm not a Docker expert but I think it could be the same as the image in this repository except installing cargo. I've been using the example below for quite a while with cached several directories (--mount=type=cache,target="/usr/local/rustup" --mount=type=cache,target="/usr/local/cargo/git" --mount=type=cache,target="/usr/local/cargo/registry" --mount=type=cache,target="/src/target",sharing=private):

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.3

    chmod -R a+w $RUSTUP_HOME $CARGO_HOME; \
    rustup --version;

This seems pretty reasonable to me I think. We'd probably want to call the image rustup rather than rust to avoid too much tag confusion.

This would be especially handy for CI when you have multiple targets managed by rust-toolchain. It makes it easy to cache the RUSTUP_HOME to store all of the targets/components without needing to double download targets that are baked into the docker image.

FYI here's my way of using rustup within a build:

FROM scratch AS rustup
ADD --chmod=0755 --checksum=sha256:6aeece6993e902708983b209d04c0d1dbb14ebb405ddb87def578d41f920f56d \
  https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/archive/1.27.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rustup-init /rustup-init
FROM docker.io/library/debian:12-slim@sha256:2ccc7e39b0a6f504d252f807da1fc4b5bcd838e83e4dec3e2f57b2a4a64e7214 AS rust-base
ENV RUSTUP_HOME=/usr/local/rustup \
     CARGO_HOME=/usr/local/cargo \
           PATH=/usr/local/cargo/bin:$PATH
RUN \
    set -ux \
 && apt-get update \
 && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
      ca-certificates \
      gcc \
      libc6-dev
RUN \
  --mount=from=rustup,source=/rustup-init,target=/rustup-init \
    set -ux \
 && /rustup-init -y --no-modify-path --profile minimal --default-toolchain nightly-2024-08-14 --default-host x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \
 && chmod -R a+w $RUSTUP_HOME $CARGO_HOME \
 && rustup --version \
 && cargo --version \
 && rustc --version \
 && apt-get remove -y --auto-remove \
 && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
# clean up for reproducibility
 && rm -rf /var/log/* /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache

One should be able to generalize and trim this to provide a single layer (ADD) image :)
