It is recommended you add yourself to the docker group, so you can run docker commands without using sudo.
To get a running build environment for sel4 and camkes, run:
git clone https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles.git
cd seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles
make user
Or to map a particular directory to the /host dir in the container:
make user HOST_DIR=/scratch/sel4_stuff # as an example
This repository contains dockerfiles which map out the dependencies for seL4, CAmkES, and L4v. It also contains some infrastructure to allow people to use the containers in a useful way.
These dockerfiles are used as the basis for regression testing in the Trustworthy Systems group, and hence should represent a well tested and up to date environment
Get the repository of Dockerfiles by cloning them from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles.git
cd seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles
To get an environment within the container, run:
make user
which will give you a terminal with CAmkES dependencies built. You can be more specific with:
make user_sel4
make user_camkes # alias for 'make user'
make user_l4v
The container will map the current working directory from the host to /host within the container. You should be able to read and write files, as the container copies your username and UID.
If you want to map a different folder, you can specify it on the command line:
make user_sel4 HOST_DIR=/scratch/sel4_stuff
You can also specify commands to be executed inside the container by using EXEC
:
make user EXEC="bash -c 'echo hello world'"
The images will be pulled from DockerHub if your machine does not have them.
Alternately, you can define a bash function in your bashrc
, such as this:
function container() {
if [[ $# > 0 ]]; then
make -C /<path>/<to>/seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles user HOST_DIR=$(pwd) EXEC="bash -c '""$@""'"
else
make -C /<path>/<to>/seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles user HOST_DIR=$(pwd)
fi
}
Where you replace the path to match where you cloned the git repo of the docker files. This then allows you to run:
container
to start the container interactively in your current directory, or:
container "echo hello && echo world"
to execute commands in the container in your current directory.
Start by creating a new workspace on your machine:
mkdir ~/sel4test
Start up the container:
make user HOST_DIR=~/sel4test
# in-container terminal
jblogs@in-container:/host$
Get seL4 test:
jblogs@in-container:/host$ repo init -u https://github.com/seL4/sel4test-manifest.git
jblogs@in-container:/host$ repo sync
jblogs@in-container:/host$ ls
apps configs Kbuild Kconfig kernel libs Makefile projects tools
Compile and simulate seL4 test for x86-64:
jblogs@in-container:/host$ mkdir build-x86
jblogs@in-container:/host$ cd build-x86
jblogs@in-container:/host$ ../init-build.sh -DPLATFORM=x86_64 -DSIMULATION=TRUE
jblogs@in-container:/host$ ninja
# ... time passes...
jblogs@in-container:/host$ ./simulate
...
Test VSPACE0002 passed

All is well in the universe
The images and dockerfiles for seL4/CAmkES/L4v only specify enough dependencies to pass the tests in the *tests.dockerfile. The extras.dockerfile
acts as a shim between the DockerHub images and the user.dockerfile
.
Adding dependencies into the extras.dockerfile
will build them the next time you run make user
, and then be cached from then on.
To build the Dockerfiles locally, you will need to use the included build.sh
script. It has a help menu:
./build.sh -h
build.sh [-r] -b [sel4|camkes|l4v] -s [binary_decomp|cakeml|camkes_vis|cogent|riscv|rust|sysinit|] -s ... -e MAKE_CACHES=no -e ...
-r Rebuild docker images (don't use the docker cache)
-v Verbose mode
-s Strict mode
-e Build arguments (NAME=VALUE) to docker build. Use a -e for each build arg.
-p Pull base image first. Rather than build the base image,
get it from the web first
Sneaky hints:
- To build 'prebuilt' images, you can run:
build.sh -b [riscv|cakeml]
but it will take a while!
- You can actually run this with '-b sel4-rust', or any other existing image,
but it will ruin the sorting of the name.
To build the seL4 image, run:
./build.sh -b sel4
Note that the -b
flag stands for the base image
. There are 3 base images: sel4
, camkes
, and l4v
. Each base image includes the previous one, i.e.: the camkes
image has everything the sel4
image has, plus the camkes dependencies.
To add additional software to the image, you can use the -s
flag, to add software
. For example:
./build.sh -b sel4 -s riscv # This adds the RISCV compilers
./build.sh -b sel4 -s riscv -s rust # This adds the RISCV compilers and a rust compiler
You can also pass configuration variables through to docker (in docker terms, these are BUILD_ARGS
) by using the -e
flag. For example, you can tell the seL4 image to use GCC version 6 (instead of 8 ) by running:
./build.sh -b sel4 -e GCC_V8_AS_DEFAULT=no
Or to turn off priming the build caches:
./build.sh -b sel4 -e MAKE_CACHES=no
Or combined:
./build.sh -b sel4 -e GCC_V8_AS_DEFAULT=no -e MAKE_CACHES=no
To speed things up, you can ask to pull the base image from DockerHub first with the -p
flag:
./build.sh -p -b sel4 -s riscv # This adds the RISCV compilers
Running Docker on your machine has its own security risks which you should be aware of. Be sure to read the Docker documentation.
Of particular note in this case, your UID and GID are being baked into an image. Any other user on the host who is part of the docker group could spawn a separate container of this image, and hence have read and write access to your files. Of course, if they are part of the docker group, they could do this anyway, but it just makes it a bit easier.
Use at your own risk.
