My Dockerfile:

FROM frolvlad/alpine-glibc:latest

ADD jdk-11.0.6_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz /usr/java

ENV JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk-11.0.6
ENV PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

When I run the command java -version in the container, I get this segfault: enter image description here

How can I solve this problem?

frolvlad/alpine-glibc is a glibc-enabled Alpine Linux image, and jdk-11.0.6_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz is likely a mainland Linux JDK glibc build. In theory, this should be fine, but there may be subtle glibc incompatibilities that cause this.

If you're looking for Java 11 on Alpine, you could just grab the vanilla Alpine 3.11 image, then install the openjdk11 package on top:

sudo docker run -it alpine:3.11

# apk add openjdk11

# java -version
openjdk version "11.0.5" 2019-10-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.5+10-alpine-r0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.5+10-alpine-r0, mixed mode)

If you need 11.0.6 specifically, install the latest openjdk11 package of the edge/community repository instead:

apk add openjdk11 --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community
