Setting Up a Dev Environment
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
To make it easier to contribute to Docker, we provide a standard development environment. It is important that
|
|
the same environment be used for all tests, builds and releases. The standard development environment defines
|
|
all build dependencies: system libraries and binaries, go environment, go dependencies, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 1: install docker
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Docker's build environment itself is a docker container, so the first step is to install docker on your system.
|
|
|
|
You can follow the `install instructions most relevant to your system <https://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/>`.
|
|
Make sure you have a working, up-to-date docker installation, then continue to the next step.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 2: check out the source
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
git clone http://git@github.com/dotcloud/docker
|
|
cd docker
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 3: build
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
When you are ready to build docker, run this command:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
docker build -t docker .
|
|
|
|
This will build the revision currently checked out in the repository. Feel free to check out the version
|
|
of your choice.
|
|
|
|
If the build is successful, congratulations! You have produced a clean build of docker, neatly encapsulated
|
|
in a standard build environment.
|
|
|
|
You can run an interactive session in the newly built container:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
docker run -i -t docker bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
To extract the binaries from the container:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
docker run docker sh -c 'cat $(which docker)' > docker-build && chmod +x docker-build
|
|
