sdhibit/rpi-raspbian repository overview

⁠rpi-raspbian

Raspbian⁠ image for docker on raspberry pi.

⁠Generating

This image is built on a raspberry pi running raspbian. A chroot is created using debootstrap and compressed so docker can add the root filesystem during the build process. The compression requires xz-utils (or something similar) to be installed on the build machine.

mkimage-raspbian.sh⁠ is used to build and configure the chroot. This script heavily borrows from docker's mkimage.sh⁠ script.

⁠Building

If you want to build this image yourself, run the following to generate the compressed chroot.

$ rm *.tar.xz
$ ./mkimage-raspbian.sh

Get some tacos.

$ docker build -t rpi-raspbian .

⁠Running

This image does not do anything fancy, but if you want to test it out, run the following:

$ docker run --name raspbian -it sdhibit/rpi-raspbian:latest /bin/bash
