debian-bazel

A Debian + Bazel build container for creating distroless-style images without pulling in extra Google project boilerplate.

The container runs as a non-root bazel user by default.

Use it in a multistage Dockerfile:

FROM docker.io/cartheur/debian-bazel:latest AS build

Local usage (Podman)

Build:

podman build -t docker.io/cartheur/debian-bazel:latest .

Run:

podman run --rm docker.io/cartheur/debian-bazel:latest bazel --version

Push:

podman login docker.io
podman push docker.io/cartheur/debian-bazel:latest

GitHub Actions auto-publish

Workflow file: .github/workflows/publish.yml

Required repository secrets:

• DOCKERHUB_USERNAME (for example cartheur)
• DOCKERHUB_TOKEN (Docker Hub access token with push permissions)

The workflow publishes docker.io/cartheur/debian-bazel:latest on every push to main and on manual dispatch.

Note on Docker CLI

docker-ce-cli is not currently installed in this image. If you want remote daemon control (docker, docker compose, docker swarm) from inside this container, I can add that in a separate variant.
