Not working in alpine docker image

[swarajsomala]

I am trying to run a tool in an Alpine Docker image, but I am getting the error paisa: not found. If I change the Docker image to Ubuntu, the tool runs fine. I have included the contents of the Dockerfile below. I have also tried running the tool manually in the Docker container, but the error is same.

# Use an official Alpine Linux as a parent image
FROM alpine:latest

# Install required packages
RUN apk update && \
    apk add --no-cache \
    gcc \
    wget

# Download and install Paisa
RUN wget https://github.com/ananthakumaran/paisa/releases/download/v0.5.0/paisa-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/paisa && \
    chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/paisa

RUN paisa init

Error:

This is because the paisa binary is not fully statically compiled, some parts are dynamically linked. I will look into it, but will take some time. For now, you can try to use any debian based distro.

sure.

The Dockerfile in the repository uses an Alpine image to run the Paisa application for deployment. I want to try using that because the Ubuntu-based image is around 500 MB in size, and I want to build a Docker image with less memory.

[ananthakumaran]

You can try something like https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/minideb Alpine is particularly problematic because they use musl instead of glibc

I tried it but Minideb occupied more memory than ubuntu. That's fine I can continue with the ubuntu base image, will close the issue. Thank you.

@swarajsomala Alpine docker images are now available on docker hub https://hub.docker.com/r/ananthakumaran/paisa/tags
