Development Tools Container¶

The project source comes with a dev directory which contains a script for building a rkt Ubuntu container with useful development tools.

To build this, start the CoreOS VM from RktMachine and SSH to it. Then copy the dev/dev-rktmachine.buildah.sh script from your /Users NFS mount to the CoreOS VM.

Building¶

Build the container using the provided build script:

sudo ./dev-rktmachine.buildah.sh

This will make a dev-rktmachine.oci in the directory. Convert this to dev-rktmachine.aci for installation into rkt:

docker2aci dev-rktmachine.oci
mv dev-rktmachine-latest.aci dev-rktmachine.aci

Install this into rkt:

rkt --insecure-options=image fetch ./dev-rktmachine.aci

This container is intended for interactive use, so to run it with rkt use:

sudo rkt run \
    --interactive \
    --volume rktmachine,kind=host,source=$(pwd) \
    dev-rktmachine \
    --mount volume=rktmachine,target=/rktmachine

The current working directory is available on the container at /rktmachine.
