Had issues with scratch using 0.31.0. I think its because it cant find uname:

Unhandled exception: execvp (/bin/sh "-c" "uname \"${@}\"" "--"): No such file or directory: No such file or directory (Errno)

However, changing it alpine worked.

FROM crystallang/crystal:latest

ADD . /src
WORKDIR /src
RUN shards build --production
RUN ldd bin/miniserver | tr -s '[:blank:]' '\n' | grep '^/' | \
    xargs -I % sh -c 'mkdir -p $(dirname deps%); cp % deps%;'

FROM alpine
COPY --from=0 /src/deps /
COPY --from=0 /src/bin/miniserver /miniserver

ENTRYPOINT ["/miniserver"]
