## Usage
### In GitHub Actions
```yaml
name: Build
on: [push]
jobs:
build-64bit:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
container: electronstudio/ubuntu16-modern:latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Build project
run: |
node --version
java -version
python3.13 --version
# Your build commands here
build-32bit:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
container: electronstudio/ubuntu16-modern:i386
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Build project
run: |
node --version
java -version
python3.13 --version
# Your build commands here
```
### Local Development
```bash
# Run 64-bit container
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/workspace electronstudio/ubuntu16-modern:latest
# Run 32-bit container
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/workspace electronstudio/ubuntu16-modern:i386
# With X11 forwarding (for GUI applications)
docker run -it \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
-v $(pwd):/workspace \
electronstudio/ubuntu16-modern:latest
```
## Why Ubuntu 16.04?
Ubuntu 16.04 provides compatibility with older systems while still supporting modern build tools through:
- PPAs for newer Git versions
- Unofficial Node.js builds for newer JavaScript features
- Kitware repositories for modern CMake
- Backported development libraries
## Building from Source
```bash
# Build 64-bit image
docker build -t ubuntu16-modern:latest .
# Build 32-bit image
docker build --platform=linux/386 -f Dockerfile.i386 -t ubuntu16-modern:i386 .
```
