tinybases

This Dockerfile generates light versions of the Debian images for use in Docker containers. The cleanup process is done by removing unneeded packages as well as other bulky files (e.g. documentation).

Installation

1. Install Docker.

2. Download the automated builds from the public Docker Hub Registry located at tinybases and pylegacy.

Usage

Given a Debian version X (from 4 to 10), you can run an interactive session as follows:

docker run --rm -it tinybases/debian:X

Given a Python version X.Y (from 2.6 to 3.12) and a Debian version Z (from 4 to 10), you can run an interactive session as follows:

docker run --rm -it pylegacy/python:X.Y-debian-Z

Additionally, per-arch images are provided for x86 and x64 in the Docker repositories tinybases/x86-debian, tinybases/x64-debian, pylegacy/x86-python and pylegacy/x64-python.

Available symbols

Below you find the list of symbols available in the Debian-based Docker images:

Image	GLIBC	CXXABI	GLIBCXX	GCC
Debian 4	≤ 2.3.4	≤ 1.3.1	≤ 3.4.8	4.1.2
Debian 5	≤ 2.7	≤ 1.3.2	≤ 3.4.10	4.3.2
Debian 6	≤ 2.11	≤ 1.3.3	≤ 3.4.13	4.4.5
Debian 7	≤ 2.13	≤ 1.3.6	≤ 3.4.17	4.7.2
Debian 8	≤ 2.18	≤ 1.3.8	≤ 3.4.20	4.9.2
Debian 9	≤ 2.24	≤ 1.3.10	≤ 3.4.22	6.3.0
Debian 10	≤ 2.28	≤ 1.3.11	≤ 3.4.25	8.3.0

The former list can be obtained by running the following code snippet inside each Docker image:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y binutils gcc
find -L /lib* -name "libc.so.6" | xargs strings | grep "^GLIBC_"
find -L /usr/lib* -name "libstdc++.so.6" | xargs strings | grep "^CXXABI_"
find -L /usr/lib* -name "libstdc++.so.6" | xargs strings | grep "^GLIBCXX_"
/usr/bin/gcc --version

For comparison, the following table shows the list of symbols available in CentOS and AlmaLinux:

Image	GLIBC	CXXABI	GLIBCXX	GCC
CentOS 5	≤ 2.5	≤ 1.3.1	≤ 3.4.8	4.1.2
CentOS 6	≤ 2.12	≤ 1.3.3	≤ 3.4.13	4.4.7
CentOS 7	≤ 2.17	≤ 1.3.7	≤ 3.4.19	4.8.5
AlmaLinux 8	≤ 2.28	≤ 1.3.11	≤ 3.4.25	8.5.0
AlmaLinux 9	≤ 2.34	≤ 1.3.13	≤ 3.4.29	11.3.1
