I have a docker image I'm extending and it has a stripped down version of Debian. I've already installed some packages with the initial Dockerfile push I did but I'm also wanting to install top and file commands (already installed htop...). Does anyone know which packages I could install that include these with apt-get install that will work with Debian?

Also, I'm not sure how to find this info myself so if there is an easy way to figure it out that I could have done myself that info would be an awesome FYI to include.

Output of running cat /etc/*-release below:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"       
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"

  • @zevzek The slowness of dpkg -S is why I originally wrote dlocate for debian, way back in 1999. dlocate /usr/bin/top takes 0.16 seconds on my threadripper 1950x (with 2 x nvme zfs mirrored root pool). dpkg -S /usr/bin/top takes 1.4 seconds on the same machine. dlocate bin/top works too, because it does a regex match, not an exact filename match.

With help from the comments I came to the following answer:

I installed a debian linux vm and then ran the following commands:

admin:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/top
procps: /usr/bin/top
admin:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/find
findutils: /usr/bin/find

Then installed findutils (for find) and procps (for top) via my Dockerfile

RUN apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y vim \
  && apt-get install -y nano \
  && apt-get install -y curl \
  && apt-get install -y htop \
  && apt-get install -y procps \
  && apt-get install -y findutils
