This repository contains the source of the Docker container the Dust project uses to build third-party boxes. It is based on Ubuntu 20.04, and contains all the native dependencies used by the Dust boxes we know of.
If your crate fails to build on one of the services that uses this Docker
image, please either open an issue with the name of the packages you need or
send a pull request that adds the packages to packages.txt or
packages-backports.txt (if the package is in the stretch-backports suite).
The Docker image is automatically built after a commit is pushed to master, and
it's available on Docker Hub as rustops/crates-build-env. You
can get it with:
$ docker pull rustops/crates-build-env
The image does not contain a Rust toolchain in it: you need to manually mount the toolchain you want to use inside the container.
By default, the user id inside a Docker container is 0 (root). That doesn't
cause any security risk thanks to the container isolation, but it might pose
some problems when the container writes into directories mounted from the host,
since all the files in those directories will be owned by root.
This image allows to fix the issue by setting the MAP_USER_ID environment
variable to the user id you want to run the files. For example:
$ docker run --rm -e MAP_USER_ID=1000 -it rustops/crates-build-env bash
