The cl-docker-images project is now live! See the project home page, but here's the tl;dr version:

There are a variety of Docker images for Common Lisp available. The source code is hosted on https://gitlab.common-lisp.net (mirrored to Github) and the images themselves are located on a CLF owned organization (thank you, Common Lisp Foundation!)

There are implementation specific images (geared toward testing and deployment purposes) for ABCL, CCL, ECL, and SBCL. Additionally, there is an image geared toward interactive development that has all these implementations, plus a bunch of external dependencies for systems in Quicklisp. We aim to update these images within a week of upstream releasing a new version.

The currently packaged versions of each are:

  • ABCL: 1.8.0
  • CCL: 1.12
  • ECL: 20.4.24
  • SBCL: 2.1.0

These images were originally written by @daewok (on Github and Docker Hub). If you are using the original images, it is highly encouraged that you switch to images from the clfoundation namespace. The daewok images will be no longer updated starting some time this year. The move helps ensure that this resource for the Common Lisp community will live on if @daewok no longer has the time to maintain these images in the future.
