The script was initially developed on Fedora Rawhide, so it works there. I had to add a couple of hacks to be able to run it on Atomic. Mainly because Atomic does not have rpm-build, which itself has tons of dependencies, and I decided to run the script in a container. Soon I found out that not only missing rpm-build is a problem but "rpm -i" does not work on Atomic. However I overcome this problem with a wrapper for rpm [0].
The bottom line is that to make the script working on the current Atomic, you must install rpm-build (possibly in a privileged Fedora container that shares PID NS with the host) and issue the below command: $ PATH="./atomic-host:$PATH" ./af install --rpm <container_name> On Fedora you just need to run only: $ ./af install --rpm <container_name> Full example: [host] $ docker pull elcolio/etcd [host] $ docker run -d --name etcd elcolio/etcd [host] $ docker run --privileged --pid=host -it --rm fedora sh [cntr] $ dnf install rpm-build git [cntr] $ cd tmp && git clone https://github.com/jfilak/af && cd af [cntr] $ PATH="./atomic-host:$PATH" ./af install --rpm etcd [cntr] $ exit [host] $ rpm -qf /etc/etcd.conf C_etcd___docker.io_elcolio_etcd-latest.0.noarch For sake of simplicity, I assume that the /exports/hostfs/etc/etcd.conf file exists within the container.
