Elm on Alpine with Docker

An easy way to start with Elm. No any system-wide dependencies except for Docker.

This is full working image of Elm language 0.19 and 0.18 built on top of Alpine.

Since the image is based on Alpine distributive, it's suitable for use at production servers as base image.

Docker tags

You can choose one of the variants below:

• Elm 0.19 on Alpine 3.8: latest, 0.19, 0.19-alpine3.8;
• Elm 0.19 on Alpine 3.7: 0.19-alpine3.7;
• Elm 0.18 on Alpine 3.8: 0.18, 0.18-alpine3.8;

Usage

There are 8000 port is exposed in Dockerfile and /opt/app directory is prepared for mounting.

$ docker run --rm wunsh/alpine-elm:latest

Now, try to play with Elm in the interactive REPL:

$ docker run --rm -it wunsh/alpine-elm:latest repl

The more complicated way to play with Elm is using Reactor. This is on-the-fly development server, launched on 8000 port:

$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/opt/app -p 8000:8000 wunsh/alpine-elm:latest reactor

You can start new project in the current directory like this:

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/opt/app -it wunsh/alpine-elm:latest init

Another commands supported by Elm 0.19:

elm make    --help
elm install --help
elm bump    --help
elm diff    --help
elm publish --help

Elm 0.18

Approaches for 0.18 version are the same as presented above.
