Hi, all: These are my quickie instructions for how to use lei in a toolbox environment if you are running a distribution like Fedora and don't want to install a lot of perl dependencies into your main OS.
1. Grab the dockerfile: https://gist.github.com/mricon/046ba7c8b03bd92176dbe83e04f2466c Right now, it's as below, though it may change in the future: --- start: public-inbox.dockerfile --- # Podman/Toolbox container for public-inbox FROM docker.io/library/debian LABEL com.github.containers.toolbox="true" \ com.github.debarshiray.toolbox="true" RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get -y install sudo libcap2-bin locales vim \ git liburi-perl libemail-mime-perl libplack-perl libtimedate-perl \ libdbd-sqlite3-perl libsearch-xapian-perl libnet-server-perl \ libinline-c-perl libemail-address-xs-perl libparse-recdescent-perl \ xapian-tools libencode-perl libdbi-perl liblinux-inotify2-perl \ libio-compress-perl curl libmail-imapclient-perl libsocket-msghdr-perl \ sqlite3 libgit2-dev make eatmydata man-db pkg-config # Change this to your locale, if you're not en_CA RUN echo "en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && \ locale-gen && \ sed -i -e 's/ ALL$/ NOPASSWD:ALL/' /etc/sudoers && \ touch /etc/localtime && \ echo VARIANT_ID=container >> /etc/os-release RUN git clone https://public-inbox.org /usr/local/public-inbox && \ cd /usr/local/public-inbox && \ perl Makefile.PL && \ make && \ make install && \ make clean CMD /bin/bash --- end: public-inbox.dockerfile --- 2. podman build -t public-inbox -f public-inbox.dockerfile 3. toolbox create --image localhost/public-inbox:latest lei 4. toolbox enter lei That should let you use "lei" commands right after entering the container. To update public-inbox, just run "git pull" in /usr/local/public-inbox and build it again. -K
