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.

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

$ ./build_dockers.bsh 

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.

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.
