# mediamtx-alpine
|
|
|
|
Dockerfile which bundles
|
|
[MediaMTX](https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx) with curl in an Alpine
|
|
container.
|
|
|
|
The image version maps directly to the MediaMTX version.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
#### Why?
|
|
|
|
When deploying in a containerized environment, curl or some other HTTP client
|
|
is required in the MediaMTX container for running health checks.
|
|
|
|
The provided MediaMTX Docker image is a scratch image that has no additional
|
|
tooling.
|
|
|
|
#### Why base the final image on Alpine, instead of copying curl and mediamtx binaries to another scratch image?
|
|
|
|
The default build of curl as installed by Alpine is dynamically linked and does
|
|
not run on a scratch image due to lack of supporting libraries.
|
|
|
|
On the surface the size difference between the two images is about 13MB. It
|
|
would probably be possible to use a static build of curl instead, but that
|
|
would have trade-offs in terms of build complexity and supply chain trust.
