So far no docker image offered an updated version of mldonkey for linux.
While trying my hand at creating a docker image, I managed to create one based on the Archlinux:base distribution
I also based myself on the very good image of logicwar
This latest version dating from 2021 does not however add much compared to version 3.1.6 dating from 2017
3.1.7
improvements to build process
fix build with OCaml up to 4.09.0
BT: drop isoHunt link
NB When building with OCaml >= 4.06 and Bittorrent network enabled - ocaml num library has to be present
3.1.7-2 Latest
Patch release to fix build, no code changes (version in binary unchanged)
fix links to website throughout
fix build when num library is missing (#47)Here is the link to the image hosted on docker hub
To launch
docker push chourmovs/mldonkey_arch:main
Note that the archlinux:base image is not the most compact compared to an alpine image, installation on small machines can be slow, you have to be patient, but in the end it works just as well.
I also worked on the bash scripts launched at "entrypoint" to avoid overwriting options each time the container is restarted.
I finally updated the stack to deploy mldonkey, gluetun and the restarter to integrate this image
Make good use of it
