SRE-565 - Modifications to use Debian Stretch as base image. #77
Conversation
Include netty-tcnative in base image to allow use of GRPC.

Hi @chrismaeda, thanks for raising this issue. I will think about how to structure the repository to provide alpine and debian images at the same time. But I can't promise on a time frame for this, sorry. If you have any proposals feel free to share them in this issue. |

The simplest approach seems to be a directory structure like this:
This duplicates the scripts but allows you to use the support in the 'docker build' command for branches/tags and folders. E.g. To build alpine: docker build myrepo.git#branchname:alpine cf: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/#git-repositories |
That is neat, wasn't aware of this feature. Thanks for pointing it out I will give it a try. |

Hello @chrismaeda and, first of all, apologies for the late answer :) In the ticket that you linked, they suggest to install the package |
|
I've tried to run https://grpc.io/docs/quickstart/java/ in the docker container and indeed it doesn't work. I would be in favor of adding these two packages to the image if you still need them since the change is way less invasive than changing the base image |

Hey @chrismaeda |
My application requires GRPC. GRPC uses netty-tcnative which does not work with alpine linux (cf. netty/netty-tcnative#111). Instead of building a custom netty-tcnative binary for alpine, I modified this base container to use Debian Stretch and to include the netty-tcnative-java package.
I don't expect you to merge this directly, but perhaps you could reorganize the source tree so that you have alpine and debian versions of the base containers?
