A Docker image that contains just the basic tools for running Debian tests in a CI/CD or even in a molecule test environment.

Downloading

cappysan/debian can be downloaded from GitLab:

docker pull registry.gitlab.com/cappysan/images/debian:11
docker pull registry.gitlab.com/cappysan/images/debian:12
docker pull registry.gitlab.com/cappysan/images/debian:13

Contents

This docker inherits from debian and adds:

• curl to be able to trigger webhooks

• gettext to have envsubst to alter Dockerfile on the fly (without using Docker build-args)

• git to be able to read current repository

• gron to be able to parse a JSON response

• jq to be able to parse a JSON response

• make to enable building Dockerfiles via Makefile

• moreutils to have tools such as sponge

• pipx to be able to install Python packages

• python3-venv to be able to install Python packages. (deprecated in favor of uv)

• rsync to be able to handle remote file repositories and merging

• systemctl to be able to run mock systemctl commands in molecule

• uv as a unified pip, virtualenv, pip-tools, …

This list is subject to change at any time. It is recommended that you include the appropriate commands (eg: apt-get install / pipx install) in your continuous integration setup to ensure these dependencies are present. In the best case, the installation will be a no-op.
