Setup a Alpine Image on Docker for the RaspberryPi from Scratch

Alpine for ARM from Scratch

We will build a Alpine Image from the scratch image and mounting the minirootfs to /.

Getting Started:

Optain the Alpine version from the link below:

Download the Alpine MiniRootFS:

$ wget https://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.5/releases/armhf/alpine-minirootfs-3.5.1-armhf.tar.gz

The Dockerfile:

FROM scratch  
ADD alpine-minirootfs-3.5.1-armhf.tar.gz /  
CMD ["/bin/sh"]  

Build the Image from your Dockerfile:

$ docker build -t {image}:{tag} .

I have published my image on docker hub, so you can run it from your repository or from mine:

$ docker run -it rbekker87/armhf-alpine:3.5 echo "hello, world"
hello, world
