BuildSourceImage

Tool to build a source image. The goal is to make retrieving the source code used to make a container image easier for users to obtain, using the standard OCI protocols and image formats.

Usage

$> ./BuildSourceImage.sh -h
BuildSourceImage.sh version 0.1
Usage: BuildSourceImage.sh [-D] [-b <path>] [-c <path>] [-e <path>] [-r <path>] [-o <path>] [-p <image>] [-l] [-d <drivers>]

       -b <path>        base path for source image builds
       -c <path>        build context for the container image. Can be provided via CONTEXT_DIR env variable
       -e <path>        extra src for the container image. Can be provided via EXTRA_SRC_DIR env variable
       -s <path>        directory of SRPMS to add. Can be provided via SRPM_DIR env variable
       -o <path>        output the OCI image to path. Can be provided via OUTPUT_DIR env variable
       -d <drivers>     enumerate specific source drivers to run
       -l               list the source drivers available
       -p <image>       push source image to specified reference after build
       -D               debuging output. Can be set via DEBUG env variable
       -h               this usage information
       -v               version

Nicely usable inside a container:

$> mkdir ./output/
$> podman run -it -v $(pwd)/output/:/output/ -v $(pwd)/SRCRPMS/:/data/ -u $(id -u) quay.io/ctrs/bsi -s /data/ -o /output/

Examples

• Building from a fetched reference
• Building from a directory of src.rpms:
• Building from a directory of src.rpms and pushing it to a simple registry:

Use Cases

• Build a source image from an existing container image by introspection
• Build a source code image from a collection of known .src.rpm's
• Include additional build context into the source image
• Include extra sources use
