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).

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.

]

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 : ?arch:Ocaml_version.arch -> t -> string * string

base_distro_tag ?arch 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. arch defaults to x86_64 and can vary the base user/repository since some architecture are built elsewhere.

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. The Docker base images will compile a base image for every OCaml version, so this list should be added to sparingly.

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. The distros in this list are also tested for packages in the opam repository.

val active_tier3_distros : Ocaml_version.arch -> t list

Tier 3 distributions are those supported for a limited set of compiler versions in the opam build infrastructure. While these distros will have base images compiled for them, they are not widely tested. Distros maybe here as they are on the way to being deprecated, or new and still experimental.
