Self-contained build environment using F-Droid tools. This extends docker-executable-fdroidserver with the latest fdroiddata and the latest Android and Gradle SDKs.

The idea is to be able to add in your own app's configuration and build it with F-Droid's tooling.

Building

docker build -t fdroidbuild .

The fdroiddata is placed into /fdroiddata.

Try it yourself!

Building from F-Droid Metadata

docker run -v "$(pwd)/build:/fdroiddata/build" fdroidbuild build org.fdroid.fdroid -l

Should produce the org.fdroid.fdroid apk in build.

Building in Repo

If you have a directory named fdroid at the root of your repository, its contents will be copied over into the /fdroiddata/metadata directory. Additionally, the token %REPO in all metadata files will be replaced with the path to the repo in the container. This is so the metadata file does not need to know the exact path the repo will live at during the build.

A F-Droid metadata file is named <appId>.txt and looks like this. So, if you have such a file located at fdroid/net.monarchpass.app.txt, you should be able to run this:

docker run -v "$(pwd)/build:/fdroiddata/build" -v "$(pwd):/repo" fdroid build <appId> -l
