Could bdockerimg make your dev life easier? (lemmy.ml)

I've been working on a small project called bdockerimg.

It's a collection of pre-built Docker images for some less common development tools (currently bmakelib, QuickLisp, and SDKMAN).

The idea is to streamline setup, especially for CI/CD pipelines, where I found myself repeating the same Dockerfile steps a lot. Basic functionality tests are included for a bit of extra peace of mind.

👀 Here's the repo if you're interested: https://github.com/bahmanm/bdockerimg
🗣 And here's the the Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#bdockerimg:matrix.org

I'm curious:

Does this seem like something you might find useful?
Are there any specific tools you'd love to see as easy-to-use Docker images?

This project is still in its early stages, so any feedback or contributions are much appreciated 🙏

You could programmatically generate them with Nix. That would at least streamline maintenance and make them more declarative.

Thanks for the pointer! Very interesting. I actually may end up doing a prototype and see how far I can get.
