Building Linux Packages

For Debian

You can build the deb packages in a Docker container like this:

docker build --tag=debian-packager debian
docker run --volume="$(pwd)/debian:/src" debian-packager

The build runs for a while, after it's done you will find the output in debian/bin.

For Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux

You can build the rpm packages in a Docker container with:

cd rpm
./docker-build.sh

Resulting rpms, and a pre-generated yum repository will be generated in rpm/output/x86_64.
