lib42/fpm repository overview

⁠Docker-Image fpm-base

⁠Overview

This Docker-Image includes "fpm" [1]⁠ (Not to be confuse with php-fpm [2]⁠!). fpm is used to build Linux Packages like .deb (Debian/Ubuntu/...) or .rpm (Redhat/CentOS/...). This container comes with a basic fpm install, build-essential and git.

It allows building directly from a git repository, using "make" by default.

⁠Usage

Here is a basic example from the fpm-documentation⁠, that will build a deb-package containing jenkins.

NAME=jenkins
VERSION=2.80

wget https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/war/$(VERSION)/jenkins.war
fpm -s dir -t deb -n $(NAME) -v $(VERSION) --prefix /opt/jenkins jenkins.war

docker run -v $(pwd)/build:/build nold360/fpm-base 

Now fpm will build our package using "make package" command inside of the build-directory. The output will show something like this if it succeedes:

...
fpm -s dir -t deb -n jenkins -v 2.80 --prefix /opt/jenkins jenkins.war
...
