Ubuntu based Image

[kumaraditya303]

An image based on ubuntu would be useful because some packages system packages are only available on ubuntu not on debian repositories.

See #61, #65, and #104 which are all closely related discussions (see especially #61 (comment)).

... some packages system packages are only available on ubuntu not on debian repositories.

I'm curious about this bit, though -- do you have some examples of system packages that are only available on Ubuntu?

@tianon libicu60 and libjpeg8-turbo are not available on debian

[tianon]

I guess I'm confused why you need those exact ABI revisions? Both of those exist in Debian, just with slightly newer versions:

• https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/icu (libicu63 vs libicu60)
• https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/libjpeg-turbo (libjpeg62-turbo vs libjpeg8-turbo)

The libjpeg-dev and libicu-dev packages should DTRT in both instances. 😕

Even in Ubuntu, the libicu60 package you're looking for only exists in Ubuntu Bionic (18.04, https://packages.ubuntu.com/libicu60), which is not likely to be the version we'd add if we were to consider Ubuntu variants (we'd be looking at Focal / 20.04, which is the current latest LTS), and the libjpeg8-turbo package you're looking for doesn't exist in Ubuntu at all (https://packages.ubuntu.com/libjpeg8-turbo). 😞

Ubuntu 22.04 has python3.10 available in its repos, so you can simply apt install it there.

However, installing pip3.10, its dependencies, and then python packages are three increasingly difficult hoops to jump through... an official Dockerfile (without compilation) would be really nice here...
