Grocker allows you to bundle your Python applications as Docker image while keeping the image size as minimal as possible.

Grocker uses debian:jessie as its base image. But we have plans to allow using a lightweight distribution such as Alpine Linux in a near future.

Grocker is hosted on Github at https://github.com/polyconseil/Grocker. Grocker full documentation is available on https://grocker.readthedocs.io/.

1. Install Docker Engine. See its official documentation.
2. Install Grocker with pip: pip install grocker.

$ grocker build ipython==5.0.0 --entrypoint ipython
$ docker run --rm -ti ipython:5.0.0-<grocker-version>
