Install abuild via Docker
Explore the process of setting up abuild within an Alpine Linux Docker container. This lesson guides you through installing required tools, configuring build dependencies, generating cryptographic keys for signing packages, and preparing your environment for building Alpine Linux packages securely.
We'll cover the following...
Preface
Now that we have learned the basics of Alpine Linux, we can start practicing how to build packages.
Setting up a Docker container
The easiest way to start using Alpine Linux is through Docker. We can use Docker via the terminal widgets that are built into this course. We can run any command we could run in a usual Alpine Linux Docker container with these widgets. Let’s try running cat /etc/os-release in the terminal below to see what Alpine Linux release version we’re using!
Try running the command in the terminal below:
Running Alpine Linux
The terminal widget above runs the Alpine Linux Docker container for us. If we wanted to start a Docker container locally on our computer later on, we could use the command ...
