Question: instructions for building standalone binary?

[gheinrich]

Hello, how would you recommend building a standalone kubebox binary out of source code? Assuming for example linux-x86.

Thanks!

There are multiple ways to build binaries for Linux.

To replicate the binary that gets published for each release, you can use astefanutti/scratch-node as the basis and replace the following pieces:

https://github.com/astefanutti/scratch-node/blob/6796615fb0a0d70c19991113fc27c04ba7a2424a/Dockerfile#L10-L41

with:

RUN npm install
RUN npm run executable-linux

That should create a fully statically linked kubebox binary.

Otherwise you can just run npm run executable which should produce a binary dynamically linked with glibc.

Last but not least, in case you just want to have a binary that contains a7f624ba475783098568e9aef46c4ef0b6f9f7db, I'll try to cut a new release ASAP.
