# slackware-container

Unofficial build scripts for a [slackware](http://www.slackware.com/)

container image

## Note

This repository was forked from

[vbatts/slackware-container](https://github.com/vbatts/slackware-container/)

at

[fork-point](https://github.com/andy5995/slackware-container/tree/fork-point).

The image is pushed to [Docker Hub at

andy5995/slackware](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/andy5995/slackware/general).

This is a [template

repository](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template).

If you create a repo from this template and want to push directly to your

Docker Hub account, you'll need to follow the [instructions for creating an

access token](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/access-tokens/) and update

`.github/workflows/docker.yml`

## Pull

To pull the image without building:

    docker pull andy5995/slackware:15.0

To run the image, see the various options in the [Docker

documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/).

## Podman

See the [podman

instructions](https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/Reference.html) if you use

[podman](https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/Reference.html) instead of docker.-

## Build

Currently, using the installer bootstrap, the included `mktar.sh` script can

create an ultra-minimal slackware filesystem. (does not even include pkgtools)

Note: sudo is required because the script uses

[chroot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot) and downloads files into /tmp.

To build the latest stable version (15.0):

    sudo ./mktar.sh

For 'current':

    sudo RELEASE=slackware64-current ./mktar.sh

A tar file will be created which contains the Slackware filesystem. To create

the docker image, use:

     docker build --build-arg RELEASE= -t  .
