deb_packages

This repo aims to provide tools to manage debian packages for container_image and container_layer from bazelbuild/rules_docker repo.

Setup

1. Add this to WORKSPACE:

   # check https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker#setup for docker rule setup
   
   load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive", "http_file")
   
   http_archive(
      name = "aisbaa_rules_deb_packages",
      sha256 = "efff23139e27eccf22f696dda42265903b1eff6dfa2420c4339aa98cdc80a7b9",
      urls = [
          "https://github.com/aisbaa/deb_packages/releases/download/v0.3-beta/deb_packages.tar.gz",
      ],
   )
   
   load("@aisbaa_rules_deb_packages//deb_packages:defs.bzl", "deb_repository")
   load("@aisbaa_rules_deb_packages//deb_packages:deps.bzl", "deb_packages_setup")
   deb_packages_setup()
   
   # example for debian buster
   
   # dowload gpg key for repo and
   http_file(
      name = "buster_archive_key",
      sha256 = "9c854992fc6c423efe8622c3c326a66e73268995ecbe8f685129063206a18043",
      urls = ["https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys/archive-key-10.asc"],
   )
   
   deb_repository(
      name = "debian_buster_amd64_pkgs",
      arch = "amd64",
      distro = "buster",
      distro_type = "debian",
      mirrors = [
          "http://deb.debian.org/debian",
      ],
      packages = {
          # this will be populated by uodate_deb_packages rule
      },
      packages_sha256 = {
          # this will be populated by uodate_deb_packages rule
      },
      pgp_key = "buster_archive_key",
   )

2. Add docker rules and include packages you want to install:

   load("@debian_buster_amd64_pkgs//debs:deb_packages.bzl", "debian_buster_amd64_pkgs")
   
   container_image(
      name = "zsh",
      base = "//base:base",
      debs = [
          debian_buster_amd64_pkgs["zsh-common"],
          debian_buster_amd64_pkgs["zsh"],
      ],
      tags = [
          "deb_packages_auto",
      ]
   )

3. Add update_deb_packages rule to a BUILD file, it is responsible for populating deb_repository rule in WORKSPACE file:

   load("@aisbaa_rules_deb_packages//deb_packages:defs.bzl", "update_deb_packages")
   
   update_deb_packages(
      name = "update_deb_packages",
      pgp_keys = [
          "@buster_archive_key//file",
      ],
   )

4. Run bazel run :update_deb_packages to get @debian_buster_amd64_pkgs pre-populated in WORKSPACE file.

5. Run bazel run //:zsh to build and push new docker image to local docker instance.
