docker-archlinux-builder

Management tool to build arch packages on docker

Prerequisites

You need a working docker installation and some core utilities.

Install

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/fliegwerk/docker-archlinux-builder.git
cd docker-archlinux-builder

Add binaries to your path:

export PATH="$(pwd)/.bin:$PATH"

Usage

First, prepare the makepkg image:

docker-makepkg update

Then, get the build files for the package you want to build:

git clone --depth 1 --branch "packages/${package_name}" --single-branch 'https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages.git' "$package_name"
# or
git clone --depth 1 --single-branch "https://aur.archlinux.org/${package_name}.git"

Finally, build the package with the helper script:

docker-makepkg build "${package_name}/trunk"
# or
docker-makepkg build "${package_name}"

Tip: You can enable headless mode by passing headless as build argument to makepkg.

Finished!

Update

Because Archlinux is a rolling-release distribution, it's important that you keep the makepkg image up-to-date.

Run regularly:

docker-makepkg update

And update monthly the base image:

docker-makepkg base-update

Remove

Remove the makepkg image:

docker-makepkg remove

Delete the git repository:

cd ..
rm -rf docker-archlinux-builder
