Pixi Container Image

This README provides instructions for building and using the Pixi container image based on Alpine Linux.

Prerequisites

• Podman or Docker installed on your system.
• Internet access to download dependencies and Pixi binary.

Build the Image

1. Clone or navigate to the directory containing the Containerfile:

   cd /path/to/containerfile

2. Build the image using Podman:

   podman build --platform linux/amd64 -t pixi:0.40.2 .

   Or, using Docker:

   docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t pixi:0.40.2 .

3. Multi-architecture Build (Optional): If you need to support multiple architectures (e.g., amd64 and arm64):

   podman build --arch amd64,arm64 -t pixi:0.40.2 .

Verify the Image

After building, verify that the image works correctly by checking the Pixi version:

podman run --rm -it pixi:0.40.2 pixi --version

Or with Docker:

docker run --rm -it pixi:0.40.2 pixi --version

Push the Image (Optional)

If you want to push the image to a container registry:

1. Login to your container registry:

   podman login registry.example.com

   Or with Docker:

   docker login registry.example.com

2. Push the image:

   podman push pixi:0.40.2 registry.example.com/your-repo/pixi:0.40.2

   Or with Docker:

   docker push pixi:0.40.2 registry.example.com/your-repo/pixi:0.40.2

Usage

Run the Pixi container and use the pixi binary as needed. For example:

podman run --rm -it pixi:0.40.2 pixi <command>

Or with Docker:

docker run --rm -it pixi:0.40.2 pixi <command>

Replace <command> with the desired Pixi command.

Notes

• This image is based on Debian Slim (debian:bookworm-slim) to provide full glibc compatibility while keeping the image size small.
• The Pixi binary is downloaded in the builder stage to ensure compatibility with the target platform.
• Ensure your system architecture matches the one specified during the build process if you're not building for multiple platforms.

Feel free to modify the Containerfile for custom requirements.
