Git LFS Dockerfiles

These Dockerfiles are designed specifically for use with the git-lfs/git-lfs project. See the docker directory in that project for more information on how to use these Dockerfiles.

Building Docker Images

The top-level script to build all the Docker images in this project may be run as:

$ ./build_dockers.bsh

Adding Docker Images

To add another Docker image, simply follow the existing pattern. A new Dockerfile should be named:

{OS NAME}_{OS VERSION}.Dockerfile

where {OS NAME} and {OS VERSION} must not contain underscores (_).

The Docker image should run a script that builds Git LFS from its source files, which will be available in the /src directory inside the container. This directory may be assumed to be a mounted volume containing a copy of the git-lfs/git-lfs project. This files in this directory should not be modified by the build script; instead, the build output should be written to the /repo directory, which will be a separate mounted volume in the container.

Depending on the operating system and version, a Docker image may need to install Go, Ruby, Git, and other tools before running the script to build Git LFS.

Updating Go Versions

To update all the Dockerfiles and the top-level script so they use a new version of the Go language, the update-hashes script may be run as:

$ ./update-hashes {GO VERSION}

This script will also update the SHA-256 hashes expected for the Go release packages so the build scripts will continue to validate the Go distribution used to build Git LFS.
