# Build the project using Docker
-There are [Docker images (Dockerfile)](../docker) containing the build environment for AMD64 (x86_64) and ARM64 architectures. These images make the build of the firmware and the generation of the DFU file for OTA quite easy, as well as preventing clashes with any other toolchains or development environments you may have installed.

+A [Docker image (Dockerfile)](../docker) containing all the build environment is available for X86_64 and AMD64 architectures. These images make the build of the firmware and the generation of the DFU file for OTA quite easy, as well as preventing clashes with any other toolchains or development environments you may have installed.
Based on Ubuntu 18.04 with the following build dependencies:
-When this is done, a new image named *infinitime-build* is available.
* ARM GCC Toolchain
* nRF SDK
* MCUBoot
* adafruit-nrfutil
-## Run a container to build the project:
+## Run a container to build the project
+
The `infinitime-build` image contains all the dependencies you need. The default `CMD` will compile sources found in `/sources`, so you need only mount your code.
This example will build the firmware, generate the MCUBoot image and generate the DFU file. Outputs will be written to **<project_root>/build/output**:
```bash
-$ cd <project_root> # e.g. cd ./work/Pinetime
-$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources infinitime-build
+cd <project_root> # e.g. cd ./work/Pinetime
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources infinitime-build
+```
+
+If you only want to build a single CMake target, you can pass it in as the first parameter to the build script. This means calling the script explicitly as it will override the `CMD`. Here's an example For `pinetime-app`:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources infinitime-build /opt/build.sh pinetime-app
```
-* `--rm` to delete the container after we're done. Build cache will be written out to host disk, so no worries.
-* `-it` for better interactivity with the running container.
- * `-i` Interactive - required if you want to send CTRL+C
- * `-t` TTY - This lets colours work nicely etc?
-* `-v` for mounting a volume to the container
+The image is built using 1000:1000 for the user id and group id. If this is different to your user or group ids (run `id -u` and `id -g` to find out what your id values are if you are unsure), you will need to override them via the `--user` parameter in order to prevent permission errors with the output files (and the cmake build cache).
-Output files (and the cmake build cache) will have `uid`/`gid` not matching your host user. To override them, use `docker run` like this:
+Running with this image is the same as above, you just specify the ids to `docker run`
```bash
-$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources \
- -e USER_ID=$(id -u) -e GROUP_ID=$(id -g) \
- infinitime-build
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources --user $(id -u):$(id -g) pfeerick/infinitime-build
```
-If you only want to build a single CMake target, you can pass it in as the first parameter to the build script. This means calling the script explicitly as it will override the `CMD`. Here's an example For `pinetime-app`:
+Or you can specify your user id and group id (by number, not by name) directly:
```bash
-$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources infinitime-build /opt/build.sh pinetime-app
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/sources --user 1234:1234 infinitime-build
```
-## Build the image
-The image is not (yet) available on DockerHub, you need to build it yourself, but that is quite easy. The following commands must be run from the root of the project. This operation will take some time but, when done, a new image named *infinitime-build* is available.
+## Using the image from Docker Hub
+
+The image is avaiable via Docker Hub for both the amd64 and arm64v8 architectures at [pfeerick/infinitime-build](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/pfeerick/infinitime-build).
+
+It can be pulled (downloaded) using the following command:
```bash
-$ docker image build -t infinitime-build ./docker
+docker pull pfeerick/infinitime-build
```
-The resulting
+The default `latest` tag *should* automatically identify the correct image architecture, but if for some reason Docker does not, you can specify it manually:
+
+* For AMD64 (x86_64) systems: `docker pull pfeerick/infinitime-build:amd64`
+
+* For ARM64v8 (ARM64/aarch64) systems: `docker pull pfeerick/infinitime-build:arm64v8`
+
+## Build the image
+
+You can build the image yourself if you like!
+
+The following commands must be run from the root of the project. This operation will take some time but, when done, a new image named *infinitime-build* is available.
+
+```bash
+docker image build -t infinitime-build ./docker
+```
-You can bake your custom USER_ID and GROUP_ID numbers in to the image, then you don't have to pass them to `docker run` every time.
+The `PUID` and `PGID` build arguments are used to set the user and group ids used in the container, meaning you will not need to specify it later unless they change for some reason. Specifying them is not mandatory, as this can be over-ridden at build time via the `--user` flag, but doing so will make the command you need to run later a bit shorter. In the below examples, they are set to your current user id and group id automatically. You can specify them manually, but they must be specified by number, not by name.
```bash
-docker image build -t infinitime-build \
- --build-arg USER_ID=$(id -u) \
- --build-arg GROUP_ID=$(id -g) \
- ./docker
+docker image build -t infinitime-build --build-arg PUID=$(id -u) --build-arg PGID=$(id -g) ./docker
```
