This container holds an pre-built environment that can build the Nelson project. This container is provided as a convenient mechinism for development, and also as a CI environment.
Anything this container does, you can do too - it is simply automation for tedious instalation.
There are two parts to this build: container and buildkite. The former is the runtime build container that buildkite will download and install, whilst the latter is a slower-moving base image for the OS that hosts the ephemeral build servers.
To build the container:
make container
To build the OS image:
make droplet
