Project page

usage

from docker hub

$ docker run 4383/moscow tar -cJf - -C /mnt/lfs . > lfs.tar.xz
$ # now you can create your own docker container that using the lfs system build
$ # previously by using the instruction FROM scratch in your dockerfile
$ # and by copying lfs.tar.xz inside
$ mkdir my-lfs-based-container
$ cp lfs.tar.xz my-lfs-based-container/
$ cd my-lfs-based-container
$ cat > Dockerfile << "EOF"
FROM scratch
ADD lfs.tar.xz .
EOF
$ docker build -t mylfs .
$ docker exec -i -t mylfs /bin/bash

from sources

$ git clone https://github.com/4383/moscow
$ cd sources
$ docker build -t moscow .
$ docker run moscow tar -cJf - -C /mnt/lfs . > lfs.tar.xz
$ # now you can create your own docker container that using the lfs system build
$ # previously by using the instruction FROM scratch in your dockerfile
$ # and by copying lfs.tar.xz inside
$ mkdir my-lfs-based-container
$ cp lfs.tar.xz my-lfs-based-container/
$ cd my-lfs-based-container
$ cat > Dockerfile << "EOF"
FROM scratch
ADD lfs.tar.xz .
EOF
$ docker build -t mylfs .
$ docker exec -i -t mylfs /bin/bash

build your own docker container based on your lfs

Now you have generate your own lfs based distribution use it inside your docker containers

FROM scratch
COPY lfs.tar.xz .
CMD /bin/bash

You can modify lfs building by adding your own utilities, like a specific python interpreter for your project and build your flavor.
