Docker Image Automation

This project contains files relevent to the automated building of armhf (armv7) compatible Docker images. These images can be used for dev, build, test, and deploy to ensure a consistent user experience.

This solution combines:

• Host kernel support for binfmt misc
• qemu-arm-static
• Docker armhf images

Configure Host

NOTE: Assumes you have Docker up and running already.

apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        qemu-user-static \
	    binfmt-support
update-binfmts --enable qemu-arm
update-binfmts --display qemu-arm

Check this blog post for more detailed info about this.

Test Host Config

docker run --rm -it ubergarm/armhf-ubuntu:trusty uname -a 

Build armhf Docker Image

From top level project directory.

docker build -t ubergarm/rowboat1 .

Run armhf Docker Image

docker run --rm -it ubergarm/rowboat1 /bin/bash

Update ubergarm base image

Pull the latest base image and add the qemu-arm-static binary.

docker pull ioft/armhf-ubuntu:trusty
CID=$(docker create --name trusty ioft/armhf-ubuntu:trusty)
docker cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static $CID:/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static
docker commit $CID ubergarm/armhf-ubuntu:trusty
docker push ubergarm/armhf-ubuntu:trusty
