DiD - Docker in Docker Containers

This repository provides Docker images with Docker CE pre-installed and configured for various Linux distributions that can be used to test docker target systems in CI scenarios.

Notes

• These containers require --privileged mode to run Docker inside Docker properly.
• All images contain systemd as the configured init system
• Published platform builds include linux/amd64 and linux/arm64
• The latest and latest-extra tags on Docker Hub will always point to the latest version of that distro within the corresponding repository.

Available Images

• dfuchs/did-alma:

  • AlmaLinux 8
  • AlmaLinux 9
  • AlmaLinux 10

• dfuchs/did-debian:

  • Debian 11 (Bullseye)
  • Debian 12 (Bookworm)
  • Debian 13 (Trixie)

• dfuchs/did-ubuntu:

  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
  • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat)

Variants

All images have a base and an extra variant.

Base variants only add the Docker CE packages and service to the base layer and are published without any special specifiers, e.g. did-<distro>:<version>, did-<distro>:<codename> and did-<distro>:latest will point to the corresponding base images.

Extra variants include additional packages on top of the Docker CE package layer and are published with an extra- prefix in the version tags, e.g. did-<distro>:<version>-extra, did-<distro>:<codename>-extra and did-<distro>:latest-extra will point to the corresponding base images. All extra packages are installed through distribution package management and sources, thus with the latest available version for that specific distribution version:

• acl, g++, gcc, git, gpg, make
• Python3 including pip, setuptools, wheel

Usage

In most cases, they'd be used in existing pipelines or tooling as a base image (e.g. for Ansible or as a remote development target)

To manually run a container:

docker pull dfuchs/did-ubuntu:24.04
docker run -d --privileged --name my-did-container dfuchs/did-ubuntu:24.04
