Yocto requires a certain setup of operating system. It is not always conveniant to configure a dedicated host, with a specific version of operating system and given settings just to perform Yocto builds. Instead of calling a nativly installed bitbake command, you can call the version in this tool and share you work area with it.
For example, if you are presently in the root of your Yocto work area (having already cloned the neccacary files as discussed in the Yocto Project Development Manual https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4.2/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#cloning-the-poky-repository) you would start a container:
docker run -ti --volume=${PWD}:/shared -w "/shared"s tafthorne/bitbake-yocto-debian
initialize the Build Environment within the running container:
source oe-init-build-env
Build the Image:
bitbake core-image-minimal
You will then find the image in your host's work area.
