Alpine Package Builder

This is a Docker image for building 32bit Alpine Linux packages.

Usage

In your Alpine Linux package source folder (the folder with your APKBUILD) create a Dockerfile. You need to specify the FROM image and PACKAGER_PRIVKEY environment variable. This is the location of your private key file. The ONBUILD triggers will copy *.rsa to /package and *.rsa.pub to /etc/apk/keys.

Here is an example Dockerfile:

FROM boggart/alpine-abuild-32bit
ENV PACKAGER_PRIVKEY /package/andys@andyshinn.as-54f23052.rsa

Then build your Docker image for the package with docker build -t package . and run it with docker run --name package package to build the Alpine Linux package. You can copy the apk file out of the container after it is build with docker cp package:/packages ..

You will have a packages folder locally with your built Alpine Linux packages.

Environment

There are a number of environment variables you can change at package build time:

• PACKAGER_PRIVKEY: defaults to /package/abuild.rsa
• REPODEST: defaults to /packages
• PACKAGER: defaults to Glider Labs <team@gliderlabs.com>
