Slackware docker images are available in the docker image registry.
They can be found in hub.docker.com/r/vbatts

You can clone the git repository from github.com/vbatts/slackware-docker
Currently, using the installer bootstrap, the mkimage-slackware.sh can create an ultra-minimal Slackware filesystem. (does not even include pkgtools)

$ sudo docker -d &
$ make image

And then you'll be able to run

$ sudo docker run -i -t $USER/slackware-base /bin/sh

This will be the environment to build out the Dockerfile from ¹⁾

To build alternate versions of slackware, pass gnu-make the RELEASE variable, like:

$ make image RELEASE=slackware64-13.37 IMG_NAME=$HOME/my_slackware:13.37

Running the Slackware docker image

$ docker run -i -t vbatts/slackware /bin/sh

Currently in the docker registry there are available images for:

• Slackware64 13.37
• Slackware64 14.0
• Slackware64 14.1
• Slackware64 14.2
• Slackware64 current
• Slackware64 latest

• Slackware docker container with slackpkg+ ²⁾

FROM vbatts/slackware

# install slackpkg+
# http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/slackpkgplus/slackpkg%2B-1.6.1p2-noarch-2mt.txz
# should put the commands in oneline so that the 'rm' command will take effect
RUN wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/slackpkgplus/slackpkg%2B-1.6.1p2-noarch-2mt.txz && installpkg slackpkg+-1.6.1p2-noarch-2mt.txz && rm slackpkg+-1.6.1p2-noarch-2mt.txz

# add repository: http://packages.slackonly.com/
RUN echo "MIRRORPLUS['slackonly']=http://slackonly.com/pub/packages/current-x86_64/" >> /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf
RUN sed -i '/^REPOPLUS/s/)/slackonly )/' /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

# If your dockerfile based on this one, please add the following two commands
# RUN slackpkg update gpg
# RUN slackpkg update

• Slackware docker container with nginx ³⁾
