schuam/docker_yocto repository overview

A more detailed description on how to use this image can be found in the git repository⁠ that I use to keep the Containerfile and build the image. Run the following command from within your Yocto project directory to start a container from this image:

docker run -it --rm -v .:`pwd` --workdir=`pwd` <IMAGE_NAME>:<TAG>

or the following, in case the directories that bitbake uses to download source files and store shared state files are not within your project directory:

docker run \
    -it --rm \
    -v .:`pwd` --workdir=`pwd` \
    -v /path/to/downloads/dir:`pwd`/bitbake/downloads \
    -v /path/to/sstate-cache/dir:`pwd`/bitbake/sstate-cache \
    --workdir=`pwd` \
    <IMAGE_NAME>:<TAG>

Adjust the <IMAGE_NAME> and <TAG>. Also make sure the DL_DIR``SSTATE_DIR in your local.conf file accordingly.
