Description

If we switch to Docker, we’ll need something to create and maintain the “basebox” (or whatever it’s called) we provide. Maybe there are Docker-specific tools. But really, there are plenty of debootstrap wrappers.

This isn’t blocked anymore by researching the availability on target platforms (Feature #7532), see blueprint.

Added initial research results to the blueprint. Next step is to test the suggested solution. Too small a task to warrant changing type of work or creating a subtask.

jvoisin, wanna give it a try?

I tested Jonathan Dowland’s https://github.com/jmtd/debian-docker/:

git clone https://github.com/jmtd/debian-docker/
cd debian-docker/wheezy
sudo make build
sudo make clean


Then running

sudo docker images


results in:

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             VIRTUAL SIZE
jmtd/debian         wheezy              e24ca21b6763        3 seconds ago       163.1 MB


The new docker image seems to run just fine:

sudo docker run -i jmtd/debian:wheezy


All in all, this looks like just what we want. Also, both the Dockerfile and Makefile are very small (9 lines and 16 lines, respectively) and straightforward, so IMHO we can just fork them.

ACK! Close this ticket and create a new one with Type of work = Code?
