kurron/docker-fpm repository overview

⁠Overview

This project is a simple Docker image that runs the FPM⁠. The container will allow you to create packages for the various Linux distributions without having to worry about all the dependencies being properly installed.

⁠Prerequisites

• a working Docker⁠ engine
• a working Docker Compose⁠ installation

⁠Building

Type docker-compose build to build the image. If you want a new version to be built on Docker Hub, just snap a branch in GitHub and the branch name, eg 1.6.3 will be used as the Docker image tag.

⁠Installation

Docker will automatically install the newly built image into the cache.

⁠Tips and Tricks

⁠Verifying The Image

docker-compose up will launch the image, verifying the image. The Docker Compose file is configured to mount your current directory into the container.

⁠Launching The Image

Run ./fpm.sh and it will launch the container with the default command line argument of --version. You can feed different arguments to script and execute arbitrary commands, eg. ./fpm.sh --help.

⁠Full Example

Here is a Bash script that creates an RPM from a the contents of a the tmp directory in the working directory.

#!/bin/bash

CMD="docker run \
       --rm \
       --interactive \
       --tty \
       --name fpm \
       --network none \
       --user $(id -u $(whoami)):$(id -g $(whoami)) \
       --volume $(pwd):/pwd \

⁠Troubleshooting

⁠RPM-Only

This container has only been tested with creating RPMs. At some point, we'll probably add Debian support as well.
