This container allows you to use your existing RPM build folders but build within the Centos 8 environment.
The container has:
- EPEL
- Common build packages
This rpmbuild container is a modification of the excellent work of https://github.com/jc21/docker-rpmbuild-centos8 I've just change a few vars here and there.
You'll need to create your standard RPM build directory structure as follows:
rpmbuild
- BUILD
- BUILDROOT
- RPMS
- SOURCES
- SPECS
- SRPMS
- tmp
Of course put your spec files in SPECS and your source files in SOURCES.
If you want to build just one spec in particular:
sudo docker run \
--name rpmbuild-almalinux8 \
-v /path/to/your/rpmbuild:/home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild \
--rm=true \
ghcr.io/jzandbergen/rpmbuild-almalinux8 \
/bin/build-spec /home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/SPECS/something.spec
Or if you want to build all specs in your SPECS folder:
sudo docker run \
--name rpmbuild-almalinux8 \
-v /path/to/your/rpmbuild:/home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild \
--rm=true \
ghcr.io/jzandbergen/rpmbuild-almalinux8 \
/bin/build-all
The build-spec script will go to the trouble of installing any requires that the spec file needs to build.
Built RPMS will show up in the RPMS/SRPMS folders if successful.
Here's an example of wrapping that stuff above in a script. Let's call it build.sh:
#!/bin/bash
SPEC=$1
RPMBUILDROOT=/path/to/your/rpmbuild
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
echo "Usage: build.sh specfile.spec"
exit 1;
else
sudo docker run \
--name rpmbuild-almalinux8 \
-v $RPMBUILDROOT:/home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild \
--rm=true \
ghcr.io/jzandbergen/rpmbuild-almalinux8 \
/bin/build-spec /home/rpmbuilder/rpmbuild/SPECS/$SPEC
exit $?
fi
Then to run it:
./build.sh something.spec
Devtools-8 is part of this image. To enable it as part of the building process just add the following environment variable to the docker command:
-e DEVTOOLS=1
