NAME

       autopkgtest-build-docker,  autopkgtest-build-podman  -  Create or update autopkgtest image
       for autopkgtest-virt-docker, autopkgtest-virt-podman

SYNOPSIS

       autopkgtest-build-docker [options]

       autopkgtest-build-podman [options]

DESCRIPTION

       autopkgtest-build-docker creates or updates a Docker or Podman image which is suitable for
       autopkgtest's        Docker/Podman        runner       autopkgtest-virt-docker(1)       or
       autopkgtest-virt-podman(1).

       When run as autopkgtest-virt-podman or with the --podman option (recommended),  Podman  is
       used for building images.  This can be done unprivileged.

       When  run  as  autopkgtest-virt-docker  or with the --docker option, Docker is used.  This
       requires root-equivalent privileges on the host system.  Using Podman instead of Docker is
       recommended.

       The images produced by this tool are intended to be suitable for use with either Podman or
       Docker.

       The image used for testing is built using docker-build(1) or podman-build(1) from  a  base
       image, by default debian:unstable.

       deb-src apt sources, runs apt-get update and installs build dependencies.

       You  can specify an apt proxy to use in the container in the --apt-proxy parameter. If you
       have an apt proxy configured on the host,  the  container  will  automatically  use  this,
       otherwise there is no default.

OPTIONS

       -i image-name | --image=image-name
              Container image to use as base image.  The default is derived from the --vendor and
              --release by assuming that image names follow the same pattern as the semi-official
              Debian  Docker  images  (debian:RELEASE)  and  the  official  Ubuntu  Docker images
              (ubuntu:RELEASE).

       --vendor debian|ubuntu|...
              Operating system vendor to use.  The default is to  guess  from  the  --release  if
              specified,  or  from  the  --mirror  if  specified,  or  use  the  --image as-is if
              specified, falling back to Debian if no image is specified.

       -r release-name | --release=release-name
              Operating system release (suite) to use.  The default is to guess from the  --image
              if specified, or use unstable for Debian, or use whatever image is tagged as latest
              for other vendors.

       -t name  | --tag=name
              Image name to tag the new image.  The default is to  prepend  autopkgtest/  to  the
              name    of    the    base    image,    resulting    in    an    image   name   like
              autopkgtest/debian:unstable.  If the --init option is used, the init system is also
              added,  resulting  in an image name like autopkgtest/systemd/debian:unstable.  When
              using Podman, if no destination  registry  is  specified,  local  storage  will  be
              assumed, resulting in a name like localhost/autopkgtest/debian:unstable.

       --init=systemd|sysv-rc|openrc
              Add the specified init system to the container image, so that it can be booted as a
              full-system  container  using  a  command  like  podman  run  IMAGE  /sbin/init  or
              autopkgtest-virt-podman  --init  IMAGE.  By default, whatever init system is in the
              base image is kept, usually meaning no init system at all (so the container can  be
              used  to run individual shell commands, but cannot be booted like a full system and
              will not provide the isolation-container autopkgtest capability).

       -m URL | --mirror=URL
              Mirror for apt.   The  default  is  http://deb.debian.org/debian/  for  Debian,  or
              http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  for  Ubuntu, or whatever mirror is configured in
              the base image otherwise.

       -p URL | --apt-proxy=URL
              Proxy for apt. If you have an apt proxy configured on the  local  host,  the  image
              will automatically use this; otherwise there is no default.

       --post-command=COMMAND
              Run shell command in the image after the setup.

ENVIRONMENT

       If  the  $AUTOPKGTEST_KEEP_APT_SOURCES  environment  variable is set to a non-empty value,
       autopkgtest-build-docker will keep whatever /etc/apt/sources.list was inherited  from  the
       base image.

       Otherwise, if the $AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES_FILE environment variable is set to a non-empty
       value,  for  example   AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES_FILE=/home/me/mydistro/sources.list,   then
       autopkgtest-build-docker  will  read that file (on the host system) and use it to populate
       /etc/apt/sources.list  in  the  virtual  machine;  or  if   the   $AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES
       environment     variable     is    set    to    a    non-empty    value,    for    example
       AUTOPKGTEST_APT_SOURCES=$(cat  /home/me/mydistro/sources.list),   autopkgtest-build-docker
       will write it directly into /etc/apt/sources.list in the resulting container image.

       You   can   specify   an   apt   proxy   to  configure  in  the  container  image  in  the
       $AUTOPKGTEST_APT_PROXY environment variable. If you have an apt proxy  configured  on  the
       host, the container will automatically use this, otherwise there is no default.

EXAMPLES

       $  autopkgtest-build-docker  --image  debian:sid --post-command "apt-get update && apt-get
       install some-package"
