Publish a container with catatonit in it for ease of copying into other containers?

[nogweii]

I'm thinking something like:

FROM opensuse/catatonit:0.2.0 as init
FROM nodejs

ADD package.json /app
# ... blah blah blah

COPY --from=init /catatonit /catatonit
ENTRYPOINT ["/catatonit"]
CMD ["node", "app.js"]

That way it's readily available as a compiled static binary for use in containers without having to manage the download & compilation myself. I could make part of a multi-stage build do that for me, but I think it would be better to have that done once rather than everyone having to correctly get the right calls to gcc et all.

It would be also very awesome if that pre-made image was compiled for a bunch of different architectures, like arm64.

download & compilation

catatonit is available as a package, you can simply install it using zypper -n in catatonit in your (openSUSE) container build.

Using zypper may resolve to a different binary in the future, so this would cause reproducible builds issues, even if all FROM lines are pinned resolved and pinned to @sha256:.
