Bazel helper rules to aid with some of the steps needed to create a Linux / Debian installation. These rules are designed to replace commands such as apt-get install
, passwd
, groupadd
, useradd
, update-ca-certificates
.
Caution
rules_distroless
is currently in beta and does not yet offer a stable Public API. However, many users are already successfully using it in production environments. Check Adopters to see who's already using it.
This ruleset is primarily funded to support Google's distroless
container images. We may not work on feature requests that do not support this mission.
We will however accept fully tested contributions via pull requests if they align with the project goals (e.g. add support for a different compression format) and may reject requests that do not (e.g. supporting other packaging formats other than .deb
).
Tip
There's limited maintainer time for this project, so we strongly encourage focused, small, and readable Pull Requests.
Note
If you are using Bazel 6 you need to enable Bzlmod by adding common --enable_bzlmod
to .bazelrc
If you are using Bazel 7+ it's enabled by default.
Add the following to your MODULE.bazel
file:
bazel_dep(name = "rules_distroless", version = "0.5.1")
You can find the latest release version in the Bazel Central Registry.
If you want to use a specific commit (e.g. there are commits in main
that are still not part of a release) you can use one of the few mechanisms that Bazel provides to override repos.
You can use git_override
, archive_override
, etc (or local_path_override
if you want to test a local patch):
bazel_dep(name = "rules_distroless", version = "0.5.1") git_override( module_name = "rules_distroless", remote = "https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/rules_distroless.git", commit = "a69bc1949d5daf2d1b0906890667d69b0897688b", )
Warning
Bzlmod is replacing the legacy WORKSPACE
system. The WORKSPACE
file will be disabled by default in Bazel 8 (late 2024) and will be completely removed in Bazel 9 (late 2025). Please migrate to Bzlmod following the steps in the Bzlmod migration guide.
You can find the latest release in the rules_distroless
Github releases page.
The examples demonstrate how to accomplish typical tasks such as create a new user group or create a new home directory:
We also have distroless
-specific rules that could be useful:
tar
archives./etc/os-release
file./usr/lib/locale
to be smaller./var/lib/dpkg/status.d
package database for scanners to discover installed packages.To read more specific documentation for each of the rules in the repo please check the following docs:
