Fedora Docker image doesn't have xargs










-2















I have the following Dockerfile:



FROM fedora:27

RUN xargs


When I run docker build -t test . I get the following output:



$ docker build -t test .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 2.048kB
Step 1/2 : FROM fedora:27
---> 7a2e85963474
Step 2/2 : RUN xargs
---> Running in fbe9bfbedfe0
/bin/sh: xargs: command not found
The command '/bin/sh -c xargs' returned a non-zero code: 127


I expect Fedora to have xargs by default, but it does not appear to be available. What else should I try?

          If you need xargs, then install xargs. Docker images are intentionally minimal; you are meant to customize them with the tools you need by using them as the base for building your own image.



          FROM fedora:27

          RUN yum -y install findutils
          RUN xargs


          If you're not sure which package provides a command you can also run yum -y install /usr/bin/xargs.
