Description

Run Emacs in a docker!

This project provides different docker images:

• The main images (~450MB) only contain the runtime dependencies for Emacs to run.
• The -dev variants (~1200MB) contain additional developer tools such as Cask, git or Python. The Emacs source is also available at /opt/emacs if you need to build Emacs differently.
• The -alpine variants (~200MB) follow the same logic as the main images but are based on Alpine Linux.
