rancid-git on CentOS 7

⚠️ This repo is archived.

See https://github.com/jumanjihouse/docker-rancid-git instead.

Overview

Demonstrate one way to build rancid-git on CentOS.

sysconftool is needed to build rancid-git, but EPEL currently does not provide sysconftool.

Therefore this demo uses Docker to...

• Download the sysconftool SRPM from Fedora 23 and build it for CentOS.
• Build and install rancid-git on CentOS.

How-to

This is an automated build on the Docker Hub.

⚠️ The following commands assume your user account has privilege to run the docker command.

Copy the SRPM and RPMs from the container into /tmp/rancid-git-rpms on the host:

git clone https://github.com/jumanjihouse/docker-rancid-git-centos6.git
cd docker-rancid-git-centos6
script/copy_rpms.sh

Spin up a container:

docker pull jumanjiman/rancid-git:centos7
docker run -i -t jumanjiman/rancid-git:centos7 bash

Create your own Dockerfile based on this one:

FROM jumanjiman/rancid-git:centos7
# Do other things in your Dockefile.

Build and test this image locally on a host with Docker:

git clone https://github.com/jumanjihouse/docker-rancid-git-centos6.git
cd docker-rancid-git-centos6
script/build
script/test

Test output resembles:

✓ rancid-git is installed
✓ built rpms are available
