How to use

Running slackrepo in a docker image means you always have a clean environment. You probably want to bind mount some directories so that the the output ends up on the host. Something like this should get you started:

mkdir -p $HOME/slackrepo
docker run --rm -it --cap-add SYS_ADMIN -v $HOME/slackrepo:/var/lib/slackrepo/SBo aclemons/slackrepo /bin/bash -ls

Then build as your normally would with slackrepo:

slackrepo build my-package

If you want to build i586 or arm packages, you can pass --platform linux/386 or --platform linux/arm in your docker run invocation.
