Use latest curl version on docker – Debian

I’ve the following docker image

FROM debian:10.7

RUN apt-get update && 
    apt-get install --yes --no-install-recommends curl

when I run it and use curl --version I got version 7.64 but the latest is 7.74
https://curl.haxx.se/download.html

How should I upgrade the curl to the latest version 7.74 ?
is there a way to do it?

    You could clone curl source code from Git and build and install it
    manually in your Dockerfile like that:

    FROM debian:10.7

RUN apt-get update && 
    apt-get install --yes --no-install-recommends autoconf libtool automake make git

RUN GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1 git clone https://github.com/curl/curl --depth 1
RUN cd curl && ./buildconf && ./configure && make -j$(nproc) install && 
    echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf && ldconfig

    After docker run:

    root@d7ea28ad22e2:/# curl --version
curl 7.75.0-DEV (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.75.0-DEV
Release-Date: [unreleased]
Protocols: dict file ftp gopher http imap mqtt pop3 rtsp smtp telnet tftp
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile UnixSockets

    The latest version of Curl on Alpine Linux is available from the following link:

    You can use the downloaded packages directly to solve this problem by installing with the make command.

    FROM debian:10.7

RUN apt-get update && 
    apt-get install --yes --no-install-recommends wget build-essential libcurl4 && 
    wget https://curl.se/download/curl-7.74.0.tar.gz && 
    tar -xvf curl-7.74.0.tar.gz && cd curl-7.74.0 && 
    ./configure && make && make install

    Note that it requires running ./configure.

    After installation curl will work perfectly in the version you need, in this case, version 7.74.0.

    If you want to optimize your container, remove the build-essential package, it alone will consume more than 200MB of storage. To do this, add at the end of the compilation:

    apt-get autoremove build-essential
