Is there a public Docker image that comes with kotlin preinstalled that I could build upon ?

From a runtime perspective you only need a JRE

[mbonnin]

I need the compiler, this is to run Kotlin scripts

[nfrankel]

here's my github build to do that:
https://github.com/nfrankel/nfrankel/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml
it's the simplest way i found

[mbonnin]

Ah thanks!

[mbonnin]

But wait. Github runners have Kotlin installed by default theses days

[mbonnin]

Why do you need this?

[nfrankel]

1. because it was not the case at the time
2. because i need an old version - kotlin scripting is not an optimal solution at the moment (see my talk at fosdem 😉)

[mbonnin]

Ahah yes I remember 🙂

[mbonnin]

What's the issue with newest versions again?

[mbonnin]

Sorry my brain is . right now 😅

[nfrankel]

• 1.5 doesn't work at all
• 1.6 might but i'm using jsoup which is already on the classpath but in a very limited version and there's no classpath isolation

[mbonnin]

Ah the good old classpath issues 😬

[mbonnin]

You have a Youtrack I can star at hand?

[mbonnin]

I'd love to have better scripting support

[nfrankel]

nope, but i think there's one

I'd love to have better scripting support

me as well
but this script will be the last one in kotlin
now i write my scripts in python
even though i'm not a python dev
