docker-centos-rpm-builder

Container images that includes support tools to builds RPMs for CentOS

Build the container

docker build -t idi-ops/centos-rpm-builder .

Build packages in a container, dispose of the container, and keep the packages locally

Environment variables must be specified at run time for the container to function:

PACKAGE_NAME: required: name of the package to build (should match specfile for the package repo)
PACKAGE_REPO: required: URL of GitHub repo to pull the package from
OUTPUT_DIR: required: output directory on Docker container to store packages. Typically, you'll want to bind this to a host volume as well to keep the outputted packages.
DEPS_DIR: optional: directory of dependency local packages to install before building the package (this can use packages from the host system with volume binding, as shown below)

Example - building couchdb

Make a directory to store the packages

mkdir output

-e PACKAGE_NAME=erlang-mochiweb \
