This repository contains a Dockerfile for Renode, available on Docker Hub as antmicro/renode.
The image is based on 'microsoft/dotnet/runtime:8.0-noble'.
Renode is installed from a release linux package.
To build the image run docker build --build-arg userId=`id -u` --build-arg groupId=`id -g` -t renode ..
The image will start Renode in interactive mode by default.
This Dockerfile uses a multistage build with runtime image based on Dotnet:8.0-bookworm-slim to minimize runtime container components and static image size. By default if no version is passed via --build-arg RENODE_VERSION=x.y.z it will build 1.17.0.
Note on Podman replacing Docker: https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/
- Static image size comparison:
Ubuntu base ~805 MB
Dotnet:8.0-bookworm-slim ~328 MB
