True. We at Siemens actually do build in docker and we should share how we do that. Actually the images are public just the commands might not be. Try that on any host-Linux running docker: $ docker run -e USER_ID=$(id -u) --rm -t -i --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --device $(/sbin/losetup -f) --cap-add=MKNOD -e http_proxy=$http_proxy -e https_proxy=$https_proxy -e ftp_proxy=$ftp_proxy -e no_proxy=$no_proxy kasproject/kas-isar bash builder@..$ git clone https://github.com/ilbers/isar.git cd isar . ./isar-init-build-env ../build builder@..:~/build$ bitbake multiconfig:qemuamd64-stretch:isar-image-base > 3) Provide extra host configuration guidance > > I know how to enable jessie-backports but I am not sure everyone will.
