Stackbrew is a web-application that performs continuous building of the docker standard library.

1. Install python if it isn't already available on your OS of choice
2. Install the easy_install tool (sudo apt-get install python-setuptools for Debian/Ubuntu)
3. Install the python package manager, pip (easy_install pip)
4. Run the following command: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
5. You should now be able to use the brew-cli script as such.

These additional instructions are necessary for the stackbrew application to function.

1. Install sqlite3 (sudo apt-get install sqlite3 on Debian/Ubuntu)
2. Create the /opt/stackbrew/repos (mkdir -p /opt/stackbrew/repos) folder.
3. Run the create_db.py script (python create_db.py)
4. Edit config.json appropriately to your needs.
5. If you're using the push option, you will need to have a valid .dockercfg file in your HOME directory.
6. You can start the application with the command python app.py

Builds are performed regularly and pushed to the public index.

A small JSON API allows users to check the status of past builds.

./brew-cli -h

Display usage and help.

./brew-cli

Default build from the default repo/branch. Images will be created under the library/ namespace. Does not perform a remote push.

./brew-cli -n mycorp.com -b stable --push git://github.com/mycorp/docker

Will fetch the library definition files in the stable branch of the git://github.com/mycorp/docker repository and create images under the mycorp.com namespace (e.g. mycorp.com/ubuntu). Created images will then be pushed to the official docker repository (pending: support for private repositories)
