Docker builds

Builds several programs and utilities using Docker.

Dependencies

To build these programs you need to install the following dependencies:

• docker
• git
• vim or another editor

Building

Run the install.sh script in the root of this project to build all the programs. Otherwise, you can run install.sh inside the program folder(s) you want built.

Platforms and distributions

The setup currently only works for Ubuntu and other distros with apt available.

How does this work?

The procedure for build and then installing the built binary is the following:

0. Create a custom Docker image for building the binary.
1. Clone and fetch the latest from the projects Git repo.
2. Build a .deb, inside a Docker container, using checkinstall.
3. Install the binary on the host system using apt.

Folder structure

Each of the folders are structured similarly, where each folder contains:

• Dockerfile defines the Docker image to build inside.
• docker-cmd.sh is the command run by the Docker container on startup.
• install.sh builds and installs the program locally.
• version is a file to keep track of the version the program.
• A folder containing the Git repo for the program.
• .gitignore to ignore certain files from Git.
