[Koha-devel] Building Koha Debian packages in Docker

[Tomas Cohen Arazi]

David, try this

https://hub.docker.com/r/koha/koha-dpkg/

I basically maintain the base.tgz files outside of it. It works nicely. The
source code is on my gitlab. The plan was to automate the packages building
and eventually set a pipeline for also testing the install process of the
results.

Hi folks,



I was wondering if anyone had a Docker image for building Koha Debian
packages. I scouted around a bit and found this image from Jonathan
https://gitlab.com/joubu/koha-dpkg-docker but nothing else.



So I’ve put together my own project which you can find here:
https://gitlab.com/minusdavid/koha-deb-builder-docker



The “build.sh” script is still rough around the edges, but it all works.
Basically you build the Docker image, dump a tarball into “input”
(generated using git archive with a properly formatted prefix and
filename), run a container, run the build.sh script, and then when the
process is done you should have some Debian packages in your “output”
directory which is shared with your host computer.



Happy to accept pull requests or talk about it in general. The Docker image
is pretty heavy, but that’s because the Debian packaging tools are heavy.



The build process is also a bit long because it has to install all the
“build dependencies”, although I think we could tweak the debian/control
file so that we don’t have to install everything just to build the
packages.



Also I couldn’t get the tests to complete successfully on the first go so
I’ve turned them off for now. Fixing the image or the tests so that they
can run would be cool.



Anyway, just thought I’d share that with everyone.
