apk missing in images

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

$ docker run -ti --rm --entrypoint ash bellsoft/liberica-runtime-container:jdk-21.0.2-slim-musl
/ # apk
ash: apk: not found

How can I install apk? I need more packages that can be installed with apk. Previous versions of liberica images did contain apk.

We ship 2 flavors of images - regular and slim. From https://hub.docker.com/r/bellsoft/liberica-runtime-container:

Images are provided in 2 versions - regular and slim. The slim version (with 'slim' in its tag) is smaller, as it does not ship the APK package manager and consists of a single layer.

So you just need to use a regular image for the same JDK:

$ docker run -ti --rm bellsoft/liberica-runtime-container:jdk-21.0.2-musl
/ # apk list -I|grep liberica

Thanks, now I understand.
