build scripts for a slackware container image
The Dockerfile is incomplete so far, since it expects a base image to be used. It would be possible and understandable to use the 'busybox' image, and build from there, but also to have a mkimage-slackware.sh to build the base image.
Currently, using the installer bootstrap, the mkimage-slackware can create an ultra-minimal slackware filesystem. (does not even include pkgtools)
If you have podman installed (the is an SBo build):
CRT="sudo podman" make image
Then you will be able to run:
sudo podman run -i -t $USER/slackware-base /bin/sh
(this also can be built and run with docker as well. If you build with one, you'll have to push your container build to a container registry before you can pull and run with the other)
(This will be the environment to build out the Dockerfile from) (( see http://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/ for more info on that ))
To build alternate versions of slackware, pass gnu-make the RELEASE variable, like:
make image RELEASE=slackware64-13.37 IMG_NAME=$HOME/my_slackware:13.37
To build and test say slackware64-current in a docker container:
make run-current
This is this build process used to be the base of 'vbatts/slackware' on the http://index.docker.io/
Just running:
sudo podman run -i -t vbatts/slackware /bin/sh
or
sudo docker run -i -t vbatts/slackware /bin/sh
Will pull down this image for testing.
please hack on this and send feedback!
