docker-ubuntu-base

A base image for Ubuntu-based Docker images.

This Vagrant vm helps me to manage:

• building s6
• building the smebberson/ubuntu-base image

Setup

Setup the vagrant machine by running vagrant up --provider=vmware_fusion. This will get you a VM running a pretty basic version of Ubuntu with:

• Docker (latest at the time of build)
• installed packages software-properties-common,build-essential
• a /build directory
• a /packages directory

Usage

The following describes the various scripts included in this repository to help build s6 and the docker image.

To build S6

---

There are some scripts to help with this process. Once you're SSH'd into the machine:

• cd /vagrant
• to build the musil static compiler, ./s6/musil-build
• to build the skalibs package, ./s6/skalibs-build
• to build the execline package, ./s6/execline-build
• and finally to build s6, ./s6/s6-build

There will be a new .tar.gz file in /vagrant/dist/ containing statically compiled s6 binaries.
