Toaster Container

This repo is to create an image that is able to setup and use Toaster from the Yocto Project.

The instructions will be slightly different depending on whether Linux, Windows or Mac is used. There are setup instructions for using Windows/Mac at https://github.com/crops/docker-win-mac-docs/wiki. When referring to Windows/Mac in the rest of the document, it is assumed the instructions at https://github.com/crops/docker-win-mac-docs/wiki were followed.

Running the container

• Create workdir or volume

  • Linux

    The workdir you create will be used for all output from toaster. This means both configuration and output. For example a user could create a directory using the command

    mkdir -p /home/myuser/toasterstuff
    

    It is important that you are the owner of the directory. The owner of the directory is what determines the user id used inside the container. If you are not the owner of the directory, you may not have access to the files the container creates.

    For the rest of the Linux instructions we'll assume the workdir chosen was /home/myuser/toasterstuff.

  • Windows/Mac

    On Windows or Mac a workdir isn't needed. Instead the volume called myvolume will be used. This volume should have been created when following the instructions at https://github.com/crops/docker-win-mac-docs/wiki.

• Starting Toaster

  • Linux

    Assuming you used the workdir from above, the command to run a container for the first time would be:

    docker run -it --rm -p 127.0.0.1:18000:8000 -v /home/myuser/toasterstuff:/workdir crops/toaster
    

  • Mac

    docker run -it --rm -p 127.0.0.1:18000:8000 -v myvolume:/workdir crops/toaster
    

  • Windows

    docker run -it --rm -p 0.0.0.0:18000:8000 -v myvolume:/workdir crops/toaster
    

  You should see output similar to the following:

  ### Shell environment set up for builds. ###
  
  You can now run 'bitbake <target>'
  
  Common targets are:
      core-image-minimal
      core-image-sato
      meta-toolchain
      meta-ide-support
  
  You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'
  The system will start.
  Check if toaster can listen on 0.0.0.0:8000
  OK

• Accessing the Toaster webpage

  At this point you should be able to access toaster by opening the following url in your web browser:

  • Linux/Mac

    http://localhost:18000
    

  • Windows

    On Windows you would find the ip address to use by running docker-machine ip in the quickstart terminal. For example if that address were 192.168.99.100 you would access toaster using:

    http://192.168.99.100:18000
