For more information please refer to Official website or Support forum

1. Install docker

This instruction works for a Centos7 docker host. Other distributions may need some adjustments.

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-'EOF'
[dockerrepo]
name=Docker Repository
baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/7/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg
EOF
...
sudo yum install docker-engine -y
...
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
...
sudo systemctl start docker.service

2. Build/Use the Container

You now have two options:

• Build from scratch or
• Pull the ready-made image from DockerHub.

2a Image from Docker Hub

sudo docker pull starwarsfan/fli4l-buildroot-container

2b Build from scratch

Pull repo from github

sudo git clone https://github.com/starwarsfan/fli4l-buildroot-container.git
cd fli4l-buildroot-container

Build image

sudo docker build -t starwarsfan/fli4l-buildroot-container:latest .

3. Starting docker container

sudo docker run \
    --name fli4l-buildroot-container \
    -d \
    starwarsfan/fli4l-buildroot-container:latest

3.a Mount volume or folder for svn checkout

With the additional run parameter -v :/data/work/ you can mount a folder on the docker host which contains the the svn checkout outside of the container. So the run command may look like the following example:

sudo docker run \
    --name fli4l-buildroot-container \
    -v /data/svn-checkout/:/data/work/ ...
