Docker base image builder

Overview

Build base Docker images using the official mkimage.sh generation script from docker's upstream repository.

The generated images are modified to setup an UTF-8 locale when it's possible (see Dockerfiles).

Dependencies

The build script depends on the following softwares:

• bash
• docker
• busybox-static
• debootstrap
• rinse

Usage

usage: build.sh <distrib> <release> [<repository> <tag1,tag2,...>]

Note: the build can be customized specifying the INCLUDE env. var.

Example

Build and push the user/debian image based on the stable Debian release with the 'jessie' and '8.x' extra tags:

# as root
./build.sh debian stable user/debian jessie,8.x

Build and push the centos image based on the CentOS 7 release:

# as root
./build.sh centos centos-7

Note: if the image has to be pushed pushed to a login-enabled registry, you should first login using docker login
