Build docker image

Use the following command to create a docker image and tag it with libreelec.

docker build --pull -t libreelec tools/docker/jammy

See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/ for details on docker build usage.

Build LibreELEC image inside a container

Change to your LibreELEC.tv development directory that you checked out with
git clone https://github.com/myname/LibreELEC.tv.git

cd LibreELEC.tv

Then use the following command to build LibreELEC images inside a new container based on the docker image tagged with libreelec. (The pwd uses the current directory - which must have the LibeELEC Makefile in it.)

docker run --rm --log-driver none -v `pwd`:/build -w /build -it libreelec make image

Use --env, -e or --env-file to pass environment variables used by the LibreELEC buildsystem.

docker run --rm --log-driver none -v `pwd`:/build -w /build -it -e PROJECT=RPi -e DEVICE=RPi4 -e ARCH=arm libreelec make image

See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/ for details on docker run usage.

Note: dockerd is set to send all its logs to journald using the setting --log-driver=journald (so if you don't set the --log-driver none for your docker run these logs will be sent through to your log. Refer:
