A balena OS docker image builder

Primary LanguageDockerfile

Balena OS docker base image

This image will install an operating system ready to build balenaOS.

Build:

export RELEASE=warrior
docker build -t docker-balena:$RELEASE --no-cache .

Use:

  • Prepare your balena project on your host, for example:
cd /build
git clone --recursive https://github.com/balena-os/balena-intel.git

  • Pass the build directory (/build/balena-intel above) as /home/build on a volume

  • Use the container to build your project:

docker run --rm -it --privileged -v /build/balena-intel:/home/build aggurio/docker-balena

By default the container runs on the /home/build directory and runs;

./balena-yocto-scripts/build/barys --rm-work -d

You can override the command to suit your needs, for example, to build a single machine. Run ./balena-yocto-scripts/build/barys --help to see all available options.

docker run --rm -it --privileged -v /build:/home/build aggurio/docker-balena ./balena-yocto-scripts/build/barys --rm-work -d --machine surface-go
