msdfgen-builder

Dockerised MSDF generator

What?

This repository proivdes an isolated build of msdfgen that you can COPY in another dockerfile, saving you build time.

x84 and arm64 builds are provided seperatly - specify -arm64 at the end of the image tag to get the arm64 build, or use :arm64 as the whole tag for the arm64 version of :latest

Usage

From the command line

You can use the docker image to run msdfgen locally without installing / buildling all of the dependencies. The base command is:

docker run --rm --name msdfgen r.lcr.gr/microhacks/msdfgen-builder:latest [your arguments go here]

But it's recommended to add an alias to your environment, so that you can run the command more easily. Something like:

alias msdfgen='docker run --rm --name msdfgen r.lcr.gr/microhacks/msdfgen-builder:latest'

In a Dockerfile

You can copy the binary into your dockerfile for easy usage. Just import it at the top with an alias, and you can later COPY from it:

FROM r.lcr.gr/microhacks/msdfgen-builder:latest as msdfgen
FROM debian

COPY --from=msdfgen /usr/bin/msdfgen /usr/bin/msdfgen
RUN msdfgen --my --args
