docker-haskell: haskell in a container

docker-haskell is a minimal Ubuntu-based docker container.

Overview

docker-haskell can be used in the following ways:

• As a haskell development environment

  run alex, cabal, ghc, or happy directly

• As a container in which to run haskell apps

  compile/run haskell app locally; access via ssh

• As a base image for other containers

  docker-agda, docker-idris, docker-purescript, docker-<your-haskell-app> etc.

How do I use this?

You can download docker-haskell via the docker index at darinmorrison/haskell or build the Dockerfile directly. If you aren't familiar with how that works, see the docker tutorial: https://www.docker.io/gettingstarted.

Another possibility is darinmorrison/vagrant-haskell which is based on this container but in some ways provides a more convenient interface.
