Overview

Poky Container is a container image for running bitbake and Poky, the build system of the Yocto Project. Its main difference from the crops/yocto-dockerfiles images is a set of helpers that create users and groups inside the container. Files produced by a build therefore belong to your own user on the host and stay readable. Setup steps differ a little for Linux, Windows and Mac, and the README links to separate guides for Windows and Mac.

Key features

  • Runs bitbake and Poky inside a container
  • Helpers create matching users and groups in the container
  • Build output stays readable by the host user
  • Separate setup notes for Linux, Windows and Mac

Best for

Embedded Linux developers who want to build with Poky in a container without file ownership problems on the host. On Linux, you must own the working directory you mount.
