About:
apko is a command-line tool that builds OCI-compliant container images directly from APK packages (Alpine Linux's package manager) using a declarative YAML configuration. It eliminates the need for a Dockerfile, enabling fast, reproducible, and minimal image builds. Its primary value is creating lightweight, secure container images optimized for deployment, often used as base layers.
|
Key Features:
- Declarative YAML configuration for image definition
- Builds OCI images directly without Dockerfile or Docker daemon
- Produces minimal and secure images using APK packages
- Supports multi-architecture builds
- Fast and reproducible image builds
|
Use Cases:
- Creating lightweight base images for containerized applications
- Streamlining CI/CD pipelines for fast, reproducible container builds
- Building secure, minimal images for production deployments
|
Alternatives:
-
Docker
– Uses imperative Dockerfile; apko uses declarative config and doesn't require Docker daemon.
-
Buildah
– Lower-level tool for building OCI images; apko is more specialized for APK-based Alpine images.
