package dockerfile-opam

  1. Overview
  2. Docs

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).

Known distributions and OCaml variants

Supported Docker container distributions

val sexp_of_t : t -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
val t_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> t
val __t_of_sexp__ : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> t
val compare : t -> t -> int

compare a b is a lexical comparison function for t.

val resolve_alias : t -> t

resolve_alias t will resolve t into a concrete version. This removes versions such as Latest.

val distros : t list

Enumeration of the supported Docker container distributions

val latest_distros : t list

Enumeration of the latest stable (ideally LTS) supported distributions.

val master_distro : t

The distribution that is the top-level alias for the latest tag in the ocaml/opam2 Docker Hub build.

val builtin_ocaml_of_distro : t -> string option

builtin_ocaml_of_distro t will return the OCaml version supplied with the distribution packaging, and None if there is no supported version.

val human_readable_string_of_distro : t -> string

human_readable_string_of_distro t returns a human readable version of the distribution tag, including version information.

val human_readable_short_string_of_distro : t -> string

human_readable_short_string_of_distro t returns a human readable short version of the distribution tag, excluding version information.

type package_manager = [
  1. | `Apk
    (*

    Alpine Apk

    *)
  2. | `Apt
    (*

    Debian Apt

    *)
  3. | `Yum
    (*

    Fedora Yum

    *)
  4. | `Zypper
    (*

    OpenSUSE Zypper

    *)
]

The package manager used by a distro.

val sexp_of_package_manager : package_manager -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
val package_manager_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> package_manager
val __package_manager_of_sexp__ : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> package_manager
val package_manager : t -> package_manager

package_manager t returns the type of package manager used by that distribution. Many derived distributions (such as OracleLinux) share the same package manager from a base distribution (such as CentOS).

Docker Hub addresses

val tag_of_distro : t -> string

tag_of_distro t convert a distribution t to a Docker Hub tag.

val distro_of_tag : string -> t option

distro_of_tag s parses s into a t distribution, and None otherwise.

val latest_tag_of_distro : t -> string

latest_tag_of_distro distro will generate a Docker Hub tag that is a convenient short form for the latest stable release of a particular distribution. This tag will be regularly rewritten to point to any new releases of the distribution.

val base_distro_tag : t -> string * string

base_distro_tag t will return a tuple of a Docker Hub user/repository and tag for which the base image of a distribution can be found (e.g. opensuse/leap,15.0 which maps to opensuse/leap:15.0 on the Docker Hub). This base image is in turn can be used to generate opam and other OCaml tool Dockerfiles.

CPU architectures

val distro_arches : Ocaml_version.t -> t -> Ocaml_version.arch list

distro_arches ov t returns the list of architectures that distribution t is supported on for OCaml compiler version ov

val distro_supported_on : Ocaml_version.arch -> Ocaml_version.t -> t -> bool

distro_supported_on arch ov distro returns true if the combination of CPU arch, compiler version ov is available on the distribution distro.

Opam build infrastructure support

val active_distros : Ocaml_version.arch -> t list

active_distros arch returns the list of currently supported distributions in the opam build infrastructure. Distributions that are end-of-life upstream will rotate out of this list regularly.

val active_tier1_distros : Ocaml_version.arch -> t list

Tier 1 distributions are those supported for the full matrix of compiler versions in the opam build infrastructure.

val active_tier2_distros : Ocaml_version.arch -> t list

Tier 2 distributions are those supported for a limited set of compiler versions in the opam build infrastructure.
