Workflows

Build

Requirements

• thor (ruby-thor)
• docker
• docker-buildx

Prepare build environments

1. Add your user to the docker group to use Docker without sudo.

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# Restart system.

You can skip this and use Docker with sudo, but the build output files will be owned by root.

2. Clone package source repositories.

thor pkg:clone
ls packages/

3. (Optional) Use a remote BuildKit builder instance.

thor build:use-remote-builder remote tcp://remote.buildkit.instance:1234

Build packages

# Generate docker-bake.hcl for targets (all by default) and build
thor build:bake:gen # [--targets] [--packages] [--arch]
thor build:bake

# Build single target without bake file
thor build:target debian-sid-amd64 # [--packages]

# List targets
thor build:list-targets

# Build packages on the host system without using Docker
sudo thor build:local --systemd # [--no-systemd] [--packages]
ls tmp/*.deb

The build results will be stored in the output/ directory.

Manage repos

Requirements

• thor (ruby-thor)
• apt-utils
• devscripts
• gpg (with signing key)

Clone the repositories:

thor repos:clone
ls repos/

Include packages

Add the built packages from the output/ directory to the repos.

thor repos:include

Update repo metadata

thor repos:update
