Building ARM Docker images on the Raspberry Pi

Install Docker for ARM using the install script:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh

From: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/docker-comes-to-raspberry-pi/

Set to startup as a service:

sudo systemctl enable docker

Start the service manually now (or reboot to start automatically):

sudo systemctl start docker


Add user to docker group (to run docker cli without sudo):

sudo usermod -aG docker pi

 

To create a new image from a Raspbian base for ARM, use the Raspbian images from resin (in your Dockerfile):

FROM resin/rpi-raspbian:latest

From: http://blog.alexellis.io/getting-started-with-docker-on-raspberry-pi/

Edit your Dockerfile to include and configure whatever you need, and build an image as normal on the Pi using:

docker build -t tagname .

… and off you go.
