scratch-based dockerization of toybox, the BusyBox-alternative with a BSD-license
As the site says:
Toybox combines many common Linux command line utilities together into a single BSD-licensed executable. It's simple, small, fast, and reasonably standards-compliant (POSIX-2008 and LSB 4.1).
Toybox's main goal is to make Android self-hosting by improving Android's command line utilities so it can build an installable Android Open Source Project image entirely from source under a stock Android system. After a talk at the 2013 Embedded Linux Conference explaining this plan (outline, video), Google merged toybox into AOSP and began shipping toybox in Android Mashmallow.
This image uses an alpine:edge build step as a staging environment, but is built around the binary releases of toybox found at https://landley.net/toybox/bin/
The source code for this image is hosted on GitHub in the backplane/conex repo.
You can launch the container interactively with a command like:
docker run --rm -it backplane/toybox
A nonroot user is pre-created in the password file, you can access it with Docker's --user argument like this:
docker run --rm -it --user nonroot backplane/toybox
To see what version of toybox is in the container you can run toybox --version, like this:
docker run --rm backplane/toybox toybox --version
stty can make it a little annoying to work in the toybox shell because you might experience issues with backspace/delete.Content type
