Home Assistant builder

Multi-purpose cross-compile docker builder.

GitHub Action

You can use this repository as a GitHub action to test and/or publish your builds.

Use the with.args key to pass in arguments to the builder, to see what arguments are supported you can look at the arguments section.

Cosign support

You can use cosign to signing and verify the build chain. To sign the image, use --cosign and attach following options to the github action:

jobs:
  build:
    name: Test build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write
      id-token: write

For keep a trust-chain during the built, you need set identity and base_identity to your build.yml

Local installation

amd64:

docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-builder:latest

armv7:

docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant/armv7-builder:latest

aarch64:

docker pull ghcr.io/home-assistant/aarch64-builder:latest

Run

For remote git repository:

docker run \
	--rm \
	--privileged \
	-v ~/.docker:/root/.docker \
    ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-builder:latest \
		--all \
		-t addon-folder \
		-r https://github.com/xy/addons \
		-b branchname

For local git repository:

docker run \
	--rm \
	--privileged \
	-v ~/.docker:/root/.docker \
	-v /my_addon:/data \
    ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-builder:latest \
		--all \
		-t /data

Docker Daemon

By default, the image will run docker-in-docker. You can use the host docker daemon by bind mounting the host docker socket to /var/run/docker.sock inside the container. For example, to do this with the Local repository example above (assuming the host docker socket is at /var/run/docker.sock:

docker run \
	--rm \
	--privileged \
	-v ~/.docker:/root/.docker \
	-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
	-v /my_addon:/data \
    ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-builder:latest \
		--all \
		-t /data

Using shell alias

On Linux, it can be helpful to use a shell alias to run the builder from the current directory. E.g. by adding the following function to your ~/.bashrc:

function builder() {
	docker run \
	  --rm \
	  -it \
	  --privileged \
	  -v ${PWD}:/data \
	  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
      ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-builder:latest --target /data $@
}

This allows to build add-ons e.g. for a single architecture as follow:

$ cd /path/to/your/add-on
$ builder --amd64 --docker-hub agners
