haskell-builder

A docker container for compiling statically linked binaries written in Haskell.

This project is inspired by golang-builder for Go, but provides the same result for Haskell binaries.

Overview

An example dockerfile:

FROM scratch
COPY ["build/hello/hello", "/usr/bin/"]
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/hello"]

Requirements

A project must include the following files:

├── Dockerfile
├── example.cabal
├── stack.yaml
└── ...

A Dockerfile is optional, when present a container will be created.

Usage

# Pull the docker container
docker pull dkubb/haskell-builder

# OR build it with:
# docker build --tag dkubb/haskell-builder builder

# Change to the directory containing the project
cd example

# Build an example container
docker run \
  -v "$(pwd):/src" \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  --rm \
  dkubb/haskell-builder \
  hello

# Run the binary inside the docker container
docker run -it --rm hello:latest

Thanks to Mitch Tishmack (mitchy) for his Alpine Linux GHC port which provides the base docker image for this project.
