Docker container for compiling Kivy applications

docker-kivy

Note: This project is still under construction.

A simple docker container that provides a build environment for Kivy

See: http://kivy.org/#home

Note: We recommend using apt-cacher-ng to speed up package fetching - you should configure the host for it in the provided 71-apt-cacher-ng file.

Getting the image

There are various ways to get the image onto your system:

The preferred way (but using most bandwidth for the initial image) is to get our docker trusted build like this:

docker pull kartoza/kivy

To build the image yourself without apt-cacher (also consumes more bandwidth since deb packages need to be refetched each time you build) do:

docker build -t kartoza/kivy git://github.com/kartoza/docker-kivy

To build with apt-cache (and minimised download requirements) do you need to clone this repo locally first and modify the contents of 71-apt-cacher-ng to match your cacher host. Then build using a local url instead of directly from github.

git clone git://github.com/kartoza/docker-kivy

Now edit 71-apt-cacher-ng then do:

docker build -t kartoza/kivy .

Run

To create a running container do:

sudo docker run --name "kivy" --hostname="kivy" --rm -i -t kartoza/kivy --help
