Problem

We would like to provide a simple way to deploy and run Apache Bookkeeper with an official Docker image.

...

• Is very similar to Zookeeper one (here the github sources)
• Is based on Alpine Linux, a very appreciated distro for docker image (for lightweightness and security orientation)
  •  Problem: Alpine uses a lightweight libc implementation that could lead to some compatibility issues with some system specific java libraries. The only problem I encountered so far is with Linux native epoll in Netty 4 (an issue for BK 4.5.0).
• Follows nearly all docker official image guidelines

  •  Problem: it currenty lacks only the key import in gpg signature verification. The best practice is:

    Code Block

    # gpg: key F73C700D: public key "Larry Hastings <larry@hastings.org>" imported RUN curl -fSL "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/$PYTHON_VERSION/Python-$PYTHON_VERSION.tar.xz" -o python.tar.xz \ && curl -fSL "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/$PYTHON_VERSION/Python-$PYTHON_VERSION.tar.xz.asc" -o python.tar.xz.asc \ && export GNUPGHOME="$(mktemp -d)" \ && gpg --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 97FC712E4C024BBEA48A61ED3A5CA953F73C700D \ && gpg --batch --verify python.tar.xz.asc python.tar.xz \ && rm -r "$GNUPGHOME" python.tar.xz.asc \ # install

    In current docker build "gpg --keyserver" and "gpg --batch" are commented.
    Providing a way to verify downloaded release is not mandatory, but it's a nice to have.
