Rules for generating Dockerfiles involving OPAM.

These are deployed at ocaml/opam on the Docker Hub. The interfaces here may change as the production deployments there change, so please contact anil@recoil.org if you depend on these functions for your own infrastructure.

module Distro : sig ... end

Run Opam commands across a matrix of Docker containers. Each of these containers represents a different version of OCaml, Opam and an OS distribution (such as Debian or Alpine).

module Linux : sig ... end

Linux distribution-specific Dockerfile utility functions

module Windows : sig ... end

Windows specific Dockerfile utility functions.

val run_as_opam : ('a, unit, string, Dockerfile.t) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a

run_as_opam fmt runs the command specified by the fmt format string as the opam user.

val install_opam_from_source : ?add_default_link:bool -> ?prefix:string -> ?enable_0install_solver:bool -> branch:string -> hash:string -> unit -> Dockerfile.t

Commands to install OPAM via a source code checkout from GitHub. The branch can be a git tag or branch (e.g. 2.0 for opam 2.0.x or 2.1 for the opam 2.1.x). The binaries are installed under <prefix>/bin/opam-<branch>, defaulting to /usr/local/bin. If add_default_link is true (the default), then the opam-<branch> binary is hardlinked to opam. Set it to false if you want to install multiple opam binaries from different branches in the same container. If enable_0install_solver is true (false by default), then the builtin-0install solver should be accessible in the resulting opam binary.

type opam_hashes = {
  1. opam_2_0_hash : string;
  2. opam_2_1_hash : string;
  3. opam_master_hash : string;
}
val gen_opam2_distro : ?win10_revision:Distro.win10_lcu -> ?winget:string -> ?clone_opam_repo:bool -> ?arch:Ocaml_version.arch -> ?labels:(string * string) list -> opam_hashes:opam_hashes -> Distro.t -> string * Dockerfile.t

gen_opam2_distro ~opam_hashes d will generate a Dockerfile for Linux distribution d with opam 2.0, opam 2.1, opam 2.2 and opam master, per hash given in parameter.

  • returns

    a tuple of the Docker tag and the Dockerfile. If clone_opam_repo is true (the default) then the Dockerfile will also git clone the official opam-repository into /home/opam/opam-repository. If arch is not specified, it defaults to the base image that is assumed to be multiarch (the main exception to this is i386, which requires different base images from amd64). For native Windows distributions, if winget is omitted, then winget will be build in an prepended build stage. If specified, then winget will be pulled from the winget external image.

val ocaml_depexts : Distro.t -> Ocaml_version.t -> Dockerfile.t

ocaml_depexts distro version returns packages that are required under distro by the OCaml distribution at version version.

val all_ocaml_compilers : string -> Ocaml_version.arch -> Distro.t -> string * Dockerfile.t

all_ocaml_compilers hub_id arch distro will generate an opam2 container that has all the recent OCaml compilers installed into a distribution distro on architecture arch.

val separate_ocaml_compilers : string -> Ocaml_version.arch -> Distro.t -> (string * Dockerfile.t) list

separate_ocaml_compilers hub_id arch distro will install a list of Dockerfiles that build individual OCaml compiler versions and their variants (e.g. flambda) in separate containers.

val deprecated : Dockerfile.t

deprecated is a minimal container that outputs a deprecation error. This is used to replace unsupported containers on the Hub rather than leaving an unmaintained distribution lying around with possible security holes.

val multiarch_manifest : target:string -> platforms:(string * string) list -> string

multiarch_manifest ~target ~platforms will generate a manifest-tool compliant yaml file to build a target on the given multiarch platforms.
