Repository for builds of blender-headless (Docker) containers. These can be used for rendering or other manipulation of Blender files as well as testing. Containers are available at: https://hub.docker.com/r/blenderkit/headless-blender.
We provide single version container for every release minor Blender version since 2.93. Multi-version is also provided, this container contains all Blender versions from 2.93 to the most recent.
Now you know all you need. Details follows if you are interested in development of the images.
This repository is primarily focused on automated builds in Github Actions. Doing the build locally would require some repetetive work, it could be scripted (pull requests welcomed!), but for us it is not use case we need.
Automated builds are done by Github actions in .github/workflows/build.yml file.
You can clone this repo and run it on its own.
Containerfile for single version is available in single-version folder.
It requires the targeted version of Blender to be extracted in blender directory.
Container file pulls image docker.io/accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-opengl-g3 annd just copies blender directory into the container.
Multiversion build is chained.
It starts with Containerfile-blender_2_93 which pulls docker.io/accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-opengl-g3.
Containerfile-blender_2_93 is then pulled by Containerfile-blender_3_0, which is then pulled by Containerfile-blender_3_1 until we reach latest version.
Result is container image which contains multiple Blender versions.
