Currently all docker builds are done by exporting a tarball to the docker container and running the build as the containers root user. Other use cases are possible however and it is possible to map a part of users file-system to the container. This is useful for example for doing cross-builds of arbitrary source trees. For this to work smoothly the container needs to have a user created that maps cleanly to the host system.
This adds a -u option to the docker script so that: DEB_ARCH=armhf DEB_TYPE=stable ./tests/docker/docker.py build \ -u --include-executable=arm-linux-user/qemu-arm \ debian:armhf ./tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian-bootstrap.docker Will build a container that can then be run like: docker run --rm -it -v /home/alex/lsrc/qemu/risu.git/:/src \ --user=alex:alex -w /src/ debian:armhf \ sh -c "make clean && ./configure -s && make" Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <alex.ben...@linaro.org> --- tests/docker/docker.py | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian-bootstrap.docker | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+) diff --git a/tests/docker/docker.py b/tests/docker/docker.py index 37d83199e7..59baac6bae 100755 --- a/tests/docker/docker.py +++ b/tests/docker/docker.py @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ # the top-level directory. import os +import stat import sys import subprocess import json @@ -25,6 +26,7 @@ import signal from tarfile import TarFile, TarInfo from StringIO import StringIO from shutil import copy, rmtree +from pwd import getpwuid DEVNULL = open(os.devnull, 'wb') @@ -225,6 +227,8 @@ class BuildCommand(SubCommand): help="""Specify a binary that will be copied to the container together with all its dependent libraries""") + parser.add_argument("--user", "-u", action="store_true", + help="Add the current user to images passwd") parser.add_argument("tag", help="Image Tag") parser.add_argument("dockerfile", @@ -260,6 +264,21 @@ class BuildCommand(SubCommand): _copy_binary_with_libs(args.include_executable, docker_dir) + if args.user: + uid = os.getuid() + uname = getpwuid(uid).pw_name + scriptlet = docker_dir+"/setup_user.sh" + + # write scriptlet + setup = open(scriptlet, "w") + setup.write("#!/bin/sh\n") + setup.write("useradd -u %d -U %s" % (uid, uname)) + setup.close() + + st = os.stat(scriptlet) + os.chmod(scriptlet, + st.st_mode | stat.S_IXUSR | stat.S_IXGRP | stat.S_IXOTH) + dkr.build_image(tag, docker_dir, dockerfile, quiet=args.quiet, argv=argv) diff --git a/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian-bootstrap.docker b/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian-bootstrap.docker index 3a9125e497..127782eedf 100644 --- a/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian-bootstrap.docker +++ b/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian-bootstrap.docker @@ -14,6 +14,9 @@ RUN sed -i 's/in_target mount/echo not for docker in_target mount/g' /debootstra # Run stage 2 RUN /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage +# Do we want to tweak the user? +RUN if test -e /setup_user.sh; then /setup_user.sh; fi + # At this point we can install additional packages if we want # Duplicate deb line as deb-src RUN cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed "s/deb/deb-src/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list -- 2.11.0
