GitHub - spritsail/busybox: A base docker image built around busybox and glibc, nurtured from source

This Docker base image has been custom crafted from source to provide just enough functionality in the tiniest footprint. Included in the image are the following:

Occasionally there are opportunities where alternative standard libc implementations (musl/uclibc) won't do, like in the case of proprietary software like Plex Media Server where only pre-compiled binaries are provided which were built against the common glibc library.

(If your use-case doesn't require glibc and you can compile the program from source, we strongly recommend you use the Alpine Linux image, based on musl, which is smaller and features a full packaging system)
