⁠Development

If you have the repository access, you can clone and build the image yourself for your own system, and can push after.

⁠Setup

Before you clone the repo, you must have Git⁠, GNU make⁠, and Docker⁠ setup on the machine.

git clone <repository url>
cd <repository>

You can always skip installing make but you will have to type the whole docker commands then instead of using the sweet make targets.

⁠Build

To locally build the image for your system.

# make build
# fetches latest minirootfs
docker build --rm --force-rm \
  -t arpanpal010/alpine-base:x86_64 \
  --no-cache=true .

# make push
docker push arpanpal010/alpine-base:x86_64

⁠Maintenance

Currently built daily on a RaspberryPi3 (armhf builds) or IntelNUC (x64 builds). Docker hub builds maintained by arpanpal010⁠.
