raspbian-stretch

Raspbian image for Docker on Raspberry Pi. Built and Tested on an Raspberry Pi 2 running raspbian stretch.

Purpose

This is a minimal image of raspbian stretch. You can use this image as a base in Dockerfiles.

Generating

A chroot is created using debootstrap and compressed so docker can add the root filesystem during the build process. The compression requires xz-utils (or something similar) to be installed on the build machine.

mkimage-raspbian.sh is used to build and configure the chroot. This script heavily borrows docker's mkimage.sh script.

Building

If you want to build this image yourself, run the following to generate the compressed chroot.

$ rm *.tar.xz
$ ./mkimage-raspbian.sh

Get some tacos.

$ docker build -t raspbian-stretch .

Automatic Build details

There is an automatic build dependency to the github repository https://github.com/schachr/docker-raspbian-stretch as well. The archive will receive updates on a regular basis to ensure that the image is up to date. All you need to do is to pull it (docker pull schachr/raspbian-stretch:latest) and recreate the container based on this image.

Running

This image does not do anything fancy, but if you want to test it out, run the following:

$ docker run --name raspbian -it schachr/raspbian-stretch:latest /bin/bash
