ScratchX - A scratch image + tiny executable
This is (hopefully) the smallest possible docker image that can be successfully executed. It is based on the scratch base image with the addition of the following compiled assembly:
SECTION .text align=1 GLOBAL _start _start: mov al, 60 syscall
The actual image size is 124 bytes and the tgz file is ~1.3KB.
Note that is is currently only for linux/amd64 platform as the it is assembled as a elf64 binary.
Usage
Running the image will immediately exit with 0.
docker pull markmcculloh/scratchx docker run markmcculloh/scratchx
The image is also commited as a tarball in this repository.
Why
Other than for fun, this image can be used as a base for images that need to only contain files rather than anything executable.
