Compiler container

The Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler is for building lbrynet for any architecture supported by an Ubuntu 18.04 base image.

Register qemu to run docker images built for platforms other than your host

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register

Build for the default x86_64 platform:

docker build -t lbrynet -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler .

Build for an ARM 32-bit platform:

docker build -t lbrynet-armhf -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=multiarch/ubuntu-core:armhf-bionic .

Build for an ARM 64-bit platform:

docker build -t lbrynet-arm64 -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=multiarch/ubuntu-core:arm64-bionic .

Extra build arguments

VERSION

Compile any version of lbrynet by specifying the git tag:

docker build -t lbrynet:v0.36.0 --build-arg VERSION=v0.36.0 -f Dockerfile-linux-multiarch-compiler .

Running from the compiler container directly

The container requires a home directory to be mounted at /home/lbrynet. This is to ensure that the wallet is backed up to a real storage device. You must run the container with the appropriate volume argument, or else lbrynet will refuse to run.

If you compiled lbrynet as above, with the tag lbrynet-x86, you could run docker like so:

docker run --rm -it -v wallet:/home/lbrynet lbrynet-x86 lbrynet start

This automatically creates a docker volume called wallet and it will persist across container restarts. See more in the Docker volume documentation

If you would rather not use a docker volume, you can mount a directory from your host instead:

docker run --rm -it -v /path/on/your/host:/home/lbrynet lbrynet-x86 lbrynet start

Either way, the container uses the configuration from /home/lbrynet inside the container.
