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 you must have a system with an installation of rkt and acbuild. For macOS, the RktMachine project provides an xhyve-based VM running CoreOS with installations of rkt, acbuild, docker2aci, and other useful container tools.

Building¶

Build the container using the provided build script:

./dev-webassembly.acbuild.sh

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

gunzip < dev-webassembly.oci > dev-webassembly.oci.tar
docker2aci dev-webassembly.oci.tar
rm dev-webassembly.oci.tar
mv dev-webassembly-latest.aci dev-webassembly.aci

Install this into rkt:

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

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

sudo rkt run \
    --interactive \
    --port=8080-tcp:8080 \
    --volume webassembly,kind=host,source=$(pwd) \
    dev-webassembly \
    --mount volume=webassembly,target=/webassembly

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