This project can help you build aur packages and maintain a custom local repository of these packeges.

You will need docker and if you have a decent setup (see the notes on security implications here) you will need to prepend sudo to all docker calls.

get/build the docker container

You need docker (if you are running systemd, start it with systemctl start docker). You can either get the corresponding image from hub.docker.com (it will not be updated regularly) or build the image locally (recommended):

git clone https://github.com/ftalbrecht/manjaro-aur-base.git
docker build --rm -t ftschindler/manjaro-aur-base -f manjaro-aur-base/Dockerfile manjaro-aur-base/

build a single package

If you are just interested in building a single package, simply spawn a docker container. Since everything you do inside docker will be lost afterwards, you need to mount a folder into the docker container.

mkdir pkg
docker run --rm -t -i --hostname aur \
  -v $PWD/pkg:/var/www/ \
  ftschindler/manjaro-aur-base \
  /bin/bash

This should give you a root shell inside the docker container. Calling mount | grep www should show you that something is mounted at /var/www.

First of all, you should update the system (pacman -Syuu --noconfirm) in case the image is outdated. Afterwards you can build a package by calling

su-exec aur build-aur-package.sh <pkgname>

where <pkgname> is a valid package name or package group name (say cower). If you get a gpg error, something went wrong when building the image or updating, please report an issue.

If all went well, the final package can be found in /var/aur/. If not, calling

su aur

should give you a shell of the aur user, cd will bring you to /var/aur where you will find the package sources. Fix any build failures as you would usually (the aur user is sudo pacman capable without password). Afterwards move the package to /var/aur.

To make the final package available outside of the docker container, simply move it to /var/www/, i.e.

mv /var/aur/cower-17-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/www/

You can now exit the docker (exit or Ctrl + D) and you should find the package ready for installation:

pacman -U pkg/cower-17-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
