Description
Run Emacs in docker containers!
This project provides different docker images:
- The main images (~500MB) only contain the runtime dependencies for Emacs to run.
- The
-dev
variants (~1400MB) contain additional developer tools such as Cask, git and Python. The Emacs source is available at/opt/emacs
if you need to build Emacs differently. - The
-alpine
variants (~200MB) follow the same logic as the main images but are based on Alpine Linux.

Alternatives
- flycheck/emacs-cask: collection of docker images containing a minimal Emacs compiled from source with Cask.
- flycheck/emacs-travis: makefile which provides targets to install Emacs stable and emacs-snapshot, Texinfo and Cask.
- jgkamat/airy-docker-emacs: alpine-based docker images that have Emacs installed through the package manager.
- JAremko/docker-emacs: collection of docker images with focus on GUI usage.
- rejeep/evm: pre-built Emacs binaries.
Contributions
They are very welcome! The basic workflow is as follow:
- Modify
images.yml
. - Modify files inside the
/templates
directory. - Run
bin/images generate
to spread the changes everywhere.
