# p6-rakudo-docker

# SYNOPSIS

Build scripts to build and manage Rakudo/Perl 6 docker images.

# USAGE

    ./build -v  -r [rakudo|rakudo-star]

             [-d ] [-f ] [-t ]

      -r  - Type of rakudo build.

            'rakudo-star' is one of the Rakduo stable releases.

            'rakudo' is one of the monthly builds.

      -v  - Version of Rakudo to build e.g. 2017-06

      -n  - Name to be given to the image. e.g. myfoo/rakudo-star

      -t  - Tag to apply to the image. e.g. latest

      -f  - Parent image (FROM) to use as base

      -d  - Debian release to use. e.g. 'jessie', 'stretch', 'buster', etc

            This chooses an appropriate parent image as well as set the release

            within the container environment.

      e.g.

        $ ./build -r rakudo -v 2017-06

        ...

        $ docker images | grep -iE 'IMAGE ID|rakudo'

# DESCRIPTION

These scripts cater to the build and management of a catalogue of 

Rakudo / Perl 6 docker images of different versions.

`./build` builds a [Rakudo](http://rakudo.org/) Debian-based docker image with

the [zef](https://github.com/ugexe/zef) module manager and a few other utilities

to make the image usable with Debian (and related) expectations - e.g. beside a

regular Debian host install. (Alpine Linux may be cool but it is deficient

for non-production use-cases where you often need access to the wider GNU/Linux

ecosystem).

As `./build` takes a rakudo version to build - it is possible to create/maintain

docker images for different versions of Rakudo - making switching between

versions trivial. This can be useful in learning, dev/test, etc environments.

`./run` instantiates a docker instance that is run in the same PID space as the

host with appropriate volumes mounted making interactions with the host

transparent. i.e. running a containerized rakudo against code on the host

is as trivial as

    (docker host) $ ./run shalomb/rakudo:2017.06 perl6 $PWD/../path/to/script.p6

# TODO

* Manage zef module installations on a shared volume?
