Distro hoppers, enjoy~

See rockhopper -h for more options.
DOWNLOAD
| Host | Package |
|---|---|
| Alpine Linux | ARM / Intel |
| Fedora | ARM / Intel |
| Ubuntu / Windows (WSL) | ARM / Intel |
System Requirements
Host operating systems:
- Alpine Linux
- Fedora
- Ubuntu
- Windows via WSL
Host architectures:
- 64-bit ARM
- 64-bit Intel
Additional host environments available via alternative install methods.
INSTALL (DOCKER)
rockhopper images may be run individually.
rockhopper images use environment variables (rocklet_... prefix) for configuration.
Stock Images
rockhopper organizes package generators by distro.
| Target | Tag |
|---|---|
| Alpine Linux | alpine-linux |
| Fedora | fedora |
| Ubuntu / Windows (WSL) | ubuntu |
Version pin tags also available, of the form:
<rockhopper version>-<distro>.
Pro tip: A happy consequence of building Ubuntu packages, is that Windows users can then access your applications via WSL.
Stock images limited to 64-bit ARM/Intel buildx platforms.
For information on developing custom rockhopper images, see the rocklets interface.
System Requirements
Host operating systems:
- Linux
- macOS
- UNIX
- Windows native or WSL
Host architectures:
- 64-bit ARM
- 64-bit Intel
For more platforms and installation methods, see our install guide.
RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS
- a docker CLI
Recommended
- a UNIX-like environment (e.g. WSL)
- a host capable of running musl/Linux containers (e.g. a GNU/Linux, musl/Linux, macOS, or Windows host)
- Docker First Aid Kit
- Apple Silicon macOS users may want to apply
DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64, as many industry Docker images lag behind in ARM support - GNU time
- tree
ABOUT
rockhopper bundles all the tools needed to generate packages, inside Docker containers.
CONFIGURATION
For information on configuring rockhopper, see our configuration guide.
TIPS
Fully static Go/musl binaries tend to improve portability for compiled applications.
Lost? Try Raspberry Pi for Dummies. We all gotta start somewhere.
A dream of impossible colors... Let's make vendor lock a thing of the past.
