Docker image to compile NodeMCU firmware

By marcelstoer
- Mon Oct 26, 2015 4:37 pm #32338 For all those who need a little more control over their NodeMCU builds than what my cloud build service gives you but do NOT want to set up the entire tool chain on Linux...

...Docker to the rescue: https://hub.docker.com/r/marcelstoer/nodemcu-build/

I think it's pretty neat that you can edit the code on your favorite platform with your favorite tools and just trigger the Docker build (on Linux) when you need it.

- Sat Nov 14, 2015 12:43 am #33936 The steps in viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1402&p=8311#p8311 no longer work because it fails to download the dependencies. So decided to try the docker.

I ran the docker and it built an image which I flashed to my esp. But it doesn't run. :-(
I have yet to build a runnable image. I have downloaded and run many. My thought this time was that it would be nice to have the hx711 library but building it is the only way to do it. I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong. There aren't errors in the output.

Ah well. Thanks for the docker image though. That was cool.

EDIT: I did get a local build toolchain to work with the main branch but not the dev branch. The websites with the missing dependencies came back online. I'll try main with the docker soon. Then I got the hx711 library included in the main branch and darned if it doesn't read the amp just fine. :-)

EDIT Much Later 10-Dec-2015: And now that the master has been updated, I can no longer build that. :-(
