Clojurians Log v2

The Official Clojure docker image is excellent (very surprised at the negative comments in this thread) It supports the latest released version of Clojure CLI and Leiningen (even boot) I used the Official Clojure docker image in my last two commercial projects without issue. I use a multi-stage Docker config, one stage to build, one to run https://practical.li/blog/posts/build-and-run-clojure-with-multistage-dockerfile/ • I should update this article for tools.build, but it's just changing one line, the command that builds to uberjar

FYI there is a #docker channel if you don't get help here

Also not sure if this is the best channel for this 😬

there is no "official" clojure docker

as in there is none thatis "blessed" by the clojure core team (I don't think)

there is a docker image that http://docker.com has decided is "official" and who knows what is in it, and who knows if anyone that has written a clojure program was involved in creating it

noted, I guess I should say that is the one that is marked "Docker official image" https://hub.docker.com/_/clojure

debian at one point packaged its own shell scripts with clojure, so if you apt-get installed clojure you would get a shell script called clojure that would launch a clojure repl and not much else

sounds like that is what you are getting

hm, that sounds promising, because I don't have any explicit "download Clojure" commands in my Dockerfile (should I?). I figured that the image would be doing that for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh, it probably has only lein by default (and some ancient default version of clojure?). You need one of the tools-deps from that page.

e.g., clojure:temurin-19-tools-deps

That's this version https://github.com/Quantisan/docker-clojure/blob/08479c1b00c308743a360a79a82338fa04e59a9a/target/eclipse-temurin-19-jdk-jammy/tools-deps/Dockerfile with the 1.11.1.1208 CLI

point_up::skin-tone-2 That help @bhlieberman93?

(we use that image at work for our BitBucket CI but I've never paid attention to the installed CLI version because we have our own version, vendored into our repo, and that is what gets used for our CI pipeline)

I was reading these docs and others, and I tried doing FROM clojure:tools-deps and other variants thereof but it did not make a difference

Build succeeds, I watch my deps and the tools.build deps get pulled

But docker run fails

(~/.clojure)-(!2179)-> docker run clojure:temurin-19-tools-deps --version
Clojure CLI version 1.11.1.1165

(~/.clojure)-(!2180)-> docker run clojure:temurin-19-tools-deps -M -e "(clojure-version)"
"1.11.1"

(but surprised I didn't get 1.11.1.1208 there but it's still a recent version)

Oh, I had that version locally...

(~/.clojure)-(!2181)-> docker run clojure:temurin-19-tools-deps-1.11.1.1208 --version

I'll have to consult this more closely when I'm back home. Thanks @seancorfield
