This image containerizes the GNU Image Manipulation program for working with images, also includes some free fonts e.g Ubuntu, OpenSans, Inconsolata etc.
Based on Alpine Linux from my alpine-glibc image with GNU LibC and s6 init system overlayed in it.
The image is tagged respectively for the following architectures,
armhf- x86_64 (retagged as the
latest
)
armhf builds have embedded binfmt_misc support and contain the
qemu-user-static binary that allows for running it also inside
an x64 environment that has it.
Pull the image for your architecture it's already available from Docker Hub.
# make pull
docker pull woahbase/alpine-gimp:x86_64
If you want to run images for other architectures, you will need to have binfmt support configured for your machine. multiarch, has made it easy for us containing that into a docker container.
# make regbinfmt
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Without the above, you can still run the image that is made for your architecture, e.g for an x86_64 machine..
Before you run..
-
This image already has a user
alpine
configured to drop privileges to the passedPUID
/PGID
which is ideal if its used to run in non-root mode. That way you only need to specify the values at runtime and pass the-u alpine
if need be. (runid
in your terminal to see your ownPUID
/PGID
values.) -
Needs
/tmp/.X11-unix/
mounted and$DISPLAY
set inside the container. -
To use fonts installed in the host system, mount
/usr/share/fonts
inside the container. -
To preserve/load documents from the host system mount the
/home/alpine
dir in your local. By default mounts$PWD/data
.
Running make
starts gimp.
# make
docker run --rm -it \
--name docker_gimp --hostname gimp \
-e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 \
-c 512 -m 2096m \
-e DISPLAY=unix:0 \
-v /usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts:ro \
-v data:/home/alpine \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
woahbase/alpine-gimp:x86_64 \
--no-splash
Stop the container with a timeout, (defaults to 2 seconds)
# make stop
docker stop -t 2 docker_gimp
Removes the container, (always better to stop it first and -f
only when needed most)
# make rm
docker rm -f docker_gimp
Restart the container with
# make restart
docker restart docker_gimp
Get a shell inside a already running container,
# make shell
docker exec -it docker_gimp /bin/bash
set user or login as root,
# make rshell
docker exec -u root -it docker_gimp /bin/bash
To check logs of a running container in real time
# make logs
docker logs -f docker_gimp
If you have the repository access, you can clone and build the image yourself for your own system, and can push after.
Before you clone the repo, you must have Git, GNU make, and Docker setup on the machine.
git clone https://github.com/woahbase/alpine-gimp
cd alpine-gimp
You can always skip installing make but you will have to type the whole docker commands then instead of using the sweet make targets.
You need to have binfmt_misc configured in your system to be able to build images for other architectures.
Otherwise to locally build the image for your system.
[ARCH
defaults to x86_64
, need to be explicit when building
for other architectures.]
# make ARCH=x86_64 build
# sets up binfmt if not x86_64
docker build --rm --compress --force-rm \
--no-cache=true --pull \
-f ./Dockerfile_x86_64 \
--build-arg ARCH=x86_64 \
--build-arg DOCKERSRC=alpine-glibc \
--build-arg PGID=1000 \
--build-arg PUID=1000 \
--build-arg USERNAME=woahbase \
-t woahbase/alpine-gimp:x86_64 \
.
To check if its working..
# make ARCH=x86_64 test
docker run --rm -it \
--name docker_gimp --hostname gimp \
-e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 \
woahbase/alpine-gimp:x86_64 \
'--version'
And finally, if you have push access,
# make ARCH=x86_64 push
docker push woahbase/alpine-gimp:x86_64
