opencast/build repository overview

⁠opencast/build

In order to help you develop Opencast while sill using Docker containers the opencast/build image was created.

⁠Quick Start

$ export HOSTIP=<IP address of the Docker host>
$ export OPENCAST_SRC=</path/to/my/opencast/code>
$ export OPENCAST_BUILD_USER_UID=$(id -u)
$ export OPENCAST_BUILD_USER_GID=$(id -g)

$ docker-compose -p opencast-build -f docker-compose/docker-compose.build.yml up -d
$ docker-compose -p opencast-build -f docker-compose/docker-compose.build.yml exec --user opencast-builder opencast bash

After attaching you can press enter to force the shell to output a prompt.

Starting with 2.2.2 there will be a build image for every release of Opencast. It will know how to build this specific version within the container. While you can use git to check out different versions of Opencast, we recommend that with it you then also change the version of the build container.
