Purpose
-------
Execute grml-debootstrap inside a docker container.
This is useful e.g. for developing new features, reproducing problems and writing tests in a clean and reproducible environment.
Files
-----
The Dockerfile is controlling the [automated builds at the Docker Hub Registry](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/mika/grml-debootstrap/).
The `*.bats` files are test scripts, used for verifying the Debian installations as generated by the `test*.sh` scripts.
Usage instructions
------------------
Make sure the docker image generated by the Dockerfile is available on your system:
````
% docker pull mika/grml-debootstrap
````
Start a container instance and switch into it via e.g.:
````
% docker run -it --privileged=true mika/grml-debootstrap
````
*NOTE:* `--privileged=true` is required for usage with loop devices and mounting proc, sysfs etc inside the container
*TIP:* add the `--rm` option to the command line to automatically remove the container when it exits
Use grml-debootstrap inside the container, e.g.:
* Install Debian inside a VM image:
````
# grml-debootstrap --vmfile --target /srv/debian.img --password grml --hostname docker [--force]
````
* Install Debian system in a directory:
````
# grml-debootstrap --target /srv/debian --password grml --hostname docker [--force]
````
*TIP:* to speed up the build prepend `eatmydata` in the grml-debootstrap command line
*TIP:* if you want to have access to the generated Debian systems after exiting the container make sure to share your working directory as `/srv` via adding `-v $PWD:/srv/` to your `docker run` command line
Usage of test scripts
---------------------
This directory provides example scripts (`test*.sh`) and tests (`*.bats`) for building and verifying Debian installations, generated via grml-debootstrap.
To use them make sure this docker directory is available inside the docker container at /srv:
````
% docker run -it --privileged=true -v $PWD:/srv/ --rm mika/grml-debootstrap
````
Then you can simply invoke `/srv/test_dirinstall.sh` or `/srv/test_vminstall.sh`, which will install Debian systems at `/srv/debian` or `/srv/debian.img` respectively and run some tests on the resulting systems.
