LFE Docker images updated (Erlang 22.3, 23.0)

[Duncan McGreggor]

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that the LFE Docker images have been updated and pushed to Docker Hub:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/lfex/lfe/tags

lfex/lfe:latest points to 1.3-23.0-alpine, which compressed weighs in at a cool 49 MB. These images are based off of the lfex/lfe bleeding-edge branch which contains several community-contributed fixes and the latest development work from Robert (which, in combination, haven't been released yet).

For newcomers: to jump into an LFE REPL, you don't need anything other than docker installed on your system:

$ docker run -it lfex/lfe:latest

Currently supported images (LFE v1.3-devel + various Erlang releases) with their uncompressed sizes:

These images have not been extensively tested, so if you find any bugs, please report them!

• LFE Docker-specific issues:https://github.com/lfex/dockerfiles/issues/new
• LFE issues: https://github.com/rvirding/lfe

The one test that I did run on all of the images was the following expression sent to the ENTRYPOINT via docker run lfex/lfe:VERSION -eval ...:

(io:format

  "~p~n"

  (list

    (erlang:list_to_integer

      (lists:reverse

        (erlang:integer_to_list

          (lists:foldl #'*/2 1 '(1 2 3 4)))))))

Enjoy :-D
