As the title says. Has anyone managed to create a scratch Docker container that can run Erlang/Elixir apps?

Feel free to let me know if it works for you, the code is quite simple.

your boss sounds like they value vanity more than practicality
most bosses do
if you’re in a situation where you’re forced to do this because of “reasons,” my condolences. Just trace your way down the stack of dockerfiles from an existing “ready for prod” erlang/elixir image until you hit
scratch.This is not necessarily true. OP could have access to a private container registry and just recreate the aforementioned stack in private images.

Is it even worth it? Even for running a release you have to install dependencies and doing that without a package manager must be fun.
