The bare minimum ClickHouse Docker image.

It is intended as a showcase to check the amount of implicit dependencies of ClickHouse from the OS in addition to the OS kernel.

Example usage:

./prepare
docker build --tag clickhouse-bare .

Run clickhouse-local:

docker run -it --rm --network host clickhouse-bare /clickhouse local --query "SELECT 1"

Run clickhouse-client in interactive mode:

docker run -it --rm --network host clickhouse-bare /clickhouse client

Run clickhouse-server:

docker run -it --rm --network host clickhouse-bare /clickhouse server

It can be also run in chroot instead of Docker (first edit the prepare script to enable proc):

sudo chroot . /clickhouse server

What does it miss?

• creation of clickhouse user to run the server;
• VOLUME for server;
• CA Certificates;
• most of the details, see other docker images for comparison;
