phyBUILDER

This repository contains the build containers we use in our infrastructure to build BSPs and software components. They get pushed to docker.io, so you can use them directly on your development machine or in a ci loop: https://hub.docker.com/u/phybuilder

Overview

We provide different container for different software projects. This is a quick overview of the use-cases of the different images:

Containers	use cases / content
yocto-debian-* yocto-ubuntu-*	build our Yocto BSP manually or in CI * run phyLinux * bitbake build and shell * cover all host dependencies
action-runner-*	run github actions from different projects in self hosted runners
python-ubuntu-*	image containing serveral python versions It is used to build different python based projects

Run the prebuild container

If you have not pulled any of our container right now, you can run:

• the latest available containers with:

podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-16.04 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-18.04 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-20.04 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-22.04 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-debian-12 bash

• an available container with a special tag:

podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-16.04:phy1 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-18.04:phy1 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-20.04:phy2 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-22.04:phy2 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-debian-12:phy1 bash

If you want to run a container with docker, only remove "--userns=keep-id":

docker run --rm=true -v /home:/home --workdir=$PWD -it docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-16.04 bash

Build the container locally

You can also use the provided container files to build them locally:

podman build -t yocto-ubuntu-16.04:phy1 yocto-ubuntu-16.04/
podman build -t yocto-ubuntu-18.04:phy1 yocto-ubuntu-18.04/
podman build -t yocto-ubuntu-20.04:phy2 yocto-ubuntu-20.04/
podman build -t yocto-ubuntu-22.04:phy2 yocto-ubuntu-22.04/
podman build -t yocto-debian-12:phy1 yocto-debian-12/
podman build -t action-runner-ubuntu-22.04:phy2 action-runner-ubuntu-22.04/

Run the local / already pulled container

podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it yocto-ubuntu-16.04:phy1 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it yocto-ubuntu-18.04:phy1 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it yocto-ubuntu-20.04:phy2 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it yocto-ubuntu-22.04:phy2 bash
podman run --rm=true -v /home:/home --userns=keep-id --workdir=$PWD -it yocto-debian-12:phy1 bash

Push local container to a registry

pass=$(cat ~/sync/env/password_dockerhub_phybuilder);podman push --creds phybuilder:${pass} localhost/yocto-ubuntu-16.04:phy1 docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-16.04:phy1;unset pass

pass=$(cat ~/sync/env/password_dockerhub_phybuilder);podman push --creds phybuilder:${pass} localhost/yocto-ubuntu-18.04:phy1 docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-18.04:phy1;unset pass

pass=$(cat ~/sync/env/password_dockerhub_phybuilder);podman push --creds phybuilder:${pass} localhost/yocto-ubuntu-20.04:phy2 docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-20.04:phy2;unset pass

pass=$(cat ~/sync/env/password_dockerhub_phybuilder);podman push --creds phybuilder:${pass} localhost/yocto-ubuntu-22.04:phy2 docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-ubuntu-22.04:phy2;unset pass

pass=$(cat ~/sync/env/password_dockerhub_phybuilder);podman push --creds phybuilder:${pass} localhost/yocto-debian-12:phy1 docker.io/phybuilder/yocto-debian-12:phy1;unset pass

pass=$(cat ~/sync/env/password_dockerhub_phybuilder);podman push --creds phybuilder:${pass} localhost/action-runner-ubuntu-22.04:phy2 docker.io/phybuilder/action-runner-ubuntu-22.04:phy2;unset pass

Known issues

1. When using rootless podman on some host distros or kernel versions, you might get the following error:

The issue has been discussed here: https://groups.google.com/g/kas-devel/c/Dm3OcBS-yao

The workaround is to add the following cmdline option to podman: "--tmpfs /tmp"
