Helper images for building collectd
Here is a collection of manifests used to build the Docker images hosted at: https://cloud.docker.com/u/collectd/repository/docker/collectd/ci/tags
There is one branch per distribution/architecture pair which collectd is tested against. Common bits are stored in the master branch, and merged into the distro branches when needed.
Each Dockerfile contains a list of package names (mostly support libraries) to install, and a list of plugins collectd master is expected to build based on them. We want to stick to the official repositories, and only install packages found there, to ensure collectd releases integrate smoothly in these distributions.
Travis-CI takes care of building these images and pushing them to cloud.docker.com. NB: Debian/sid and Fedora/rawhide built are triggered once per day (as these distributions change constantly). You'll find the build logs there: https://travis-ci.org/collectd/ci-docker/builds
The goal is to have the resulting images fit in the collectd project's CI, but they are free to use for any other case. Only patches related to the CI will be considered, though.
Here's an example of how you could build collectd in an Ubuntu/Xenial environment:
git clone https://github.com/collectd/collectd
docker run -it --rm -v $PWD/collectd:/collectd -w /collectd collectd/ci:xenial_amd64
./build.sh && ./configure && make && make check
