Docker images for various Racket versions available on DockerHub as racket/racket:<version>
. For example, to run a Racket 8.3 REPL:
$ docker run -it racket/racket:8.3
Base: buildpack-deps
CMD: racket
These images use the minimal-install
of Racket to avoid pulling in things like
DrRacket or Scribble. This also means many raco
commands such as raco make
will be missing; install the compiler-lib
package to get most of the standard
raco
commands. Alternatively, use the "full" images instead such as
racket/racket:8.3-full
.
Versions: 6.1 and above. Racket CS images are available for 7.4 and above.
Base: buildpack-deps
CMD: racket
These images, tagged with -full
at the end, use the full Racket distribution.
Base: buildpack-deps
CMD: racket
As of Racket 8.0, CS is the default variant of Racket so the regular
images (such as racket/racket:8.0
or racket/racket:8.0-full
) are
now based on CS.
Racket CS images for versions prior to 8.0 are tagged as -cs
and
-cs-full
, respectively. For example, racket/racket:7.9-cs-full
is
the full distribution of the CS variant of Racket 7.9.
As of the 8.0 release, Racket BC images are tagged with -bc
and
-bc-full
. For example, racket/racket:8.0-bc-full
is the full
distribution of the BC variant of Racket 8.0, whereas
racket/racket:7.9-full
is the full distribution of the BC variant of
Racket 7.9 (before CS was made the default).
To work with the images locally, first run docker login
to login to DockerHub.
Then run the following scripts:
./build.sh
to build the images,./test.sh
to verify that the images work correctly, and./deploy.sh
to push the images to DockerHub.
These images used to be in the jackfirth/racket
DockerHub repository. For
backwards compatibility, that repository is still available and images for new
Racket versions are still pushed there. Users are gently encouraged to migrate
to the racket/racket
repository. The images in both repositories are
identical, and we plan to continue updating the jackfirth/racket
repository
for the foreseeable future.
