hadolint VS ihaskell

To skip the "move your scripts to standalone files" step some devs don't like, consider something like https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint which runs Shellcheck over inline scripts within Containerfiles.

This is neat :)

I love going and making containers smaller and faster to build.

I don't know if it's useful for alpine, but adding a --mount=type=cache argument to the RUN command that `apk add`s might shave a few seconds off rebuilds. Probably not worth it, in your case, unless you're invalidating the cached layer often (adding or removing deps, intentionally building without layer caching to ensure you have the latest packages).

Hadolint is another tool worth checking out if you like spending time messing with Dockerfiles: https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint

With Depot, we make use of two Dockerfile linters, hadolint and a set of Dockerfile linter rules that Semgrep has written to make a bit of a smarter Dockerfile linter.

# Download hadolint wget https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/releases/download/v2.12.0/hadolint-Linux-x86_64 # Download SHA256 checksum wget https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/releases/download/v2.12.0/hadolint-Linux-x86_64.sha256 # Validate the checksum sha256sum -c hadolint-Linux-x86_64.sha256 # Make the file executable chmod + ./hadolint-Linux-x86_64 # Rename the file mv hadolint-Linux-x86_64 hadolint

The most common linter I've seen and used it Hadolint, which does: https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/wiki/DL3002 I didn't bother checking to see if alternatives also support this as well though.

Some discussion on that here:

https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/issues/58

The hadolint project does shell checking for Dockerfiles and it uses shellcheck:

https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint

So the approach is definitely feasible, but you do need a new project and probably it needs to be written in Haskell.

how does this compare to something like hadolint?

Also, have you run across Hadolint for linting? https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint

Are you referring to IHaskell: https://github.com/IHaskell/IHaskell?

Note that we do have the IHaskell kernel for Jupyter, so we don't have to be that jealous.

That looks like a generic front-end error for when the back-end is unavailable, the back-end error should be more informative, but I don't know where exactly you can find it. At this point it might make sense to open an issue on the issue tracker of IHaskell, they will be able to give you more useful answers.

I haven't actually used IHaskell, however, the png file is presumably created in whatever the working directory is when the script is running. The IHaskell wiki says:
