Installing non-official OpenJDK 11 Alpine from an OpenJDK vendor. For installation procedure, so this post. However, you won't be running "native Alpine" anymore. This is a fairly easy procedure, which will allow you to run any Linux software on Alpine.


Installing proper glibc on the Alpine container. It’s not production-ready because it hasn’t been tested thoroughly enough to be considered a GA build. The Alpine Linux build previously available on this page was removed as of JDK 11 GA. However, unfortunately, such build is not currently available. So you'll need an OpenJDK 11 Alpine build, specifically. As a consequence, standard Linux software that is built on non-Alpine distibutions, will usually be linked against glibc and cannot be ran on Alpine, without installing a glibc compatiblity layer. You could verify this using ldd java.Īlpine Linux is using musl-libc for its libc (standard C library) implementation, in contrast to most other Linuxes which are using glibc, GNU's C library. The reason you're getting java: not found is likely due to dynamic linking failure. opt/openjdk-11/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/binīut when I run java itself, I get: / # java -versionĪnd I get kicked out of the container. + echo /opt/openjdk-11/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin Tar -extract -file /openjdk.tgz -directory "$JAVA_HOME" -strip-components 1 \Īfter that, I can confirm that a few things seem correct: / # ls -lah $JAVA_HOME/bin/java

I'm trying to build an alpine docker image with openjdk 11.
