| === Containers and FreeBSD: Cloud Native Buildpacks | ||
|
|
||

| link:https://buildpacks.io/[Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNBs)] transform application source code into container images. Those images can run on any cloud. With buildpacks, organizations can concentrate the knowledge of container build best practices within a specialized team, instead of having application developers across the organization individually maintain their own Dockerfiles. | ||

|
||
| A few weeks ago, I've started to look into FreeBSD support for buildpacks. My goal is to have working versions of the tools link:https://buildpacks.io/docs/for-platform-operators/concepts/lifecycle/[lifecycle] and link:https://buildpacks.io/docs/for-platform-operators/how-to/integrate-ci/pack/[pack] in the next few months. | ||
|
|
||
| There were previous attempts to bring support for FreeBSD to buildpacks, for example to `lifecycle`: | ||
|
|
||
| * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/lifecycle/pull/1087[Add support for FreeBSD #1087] | ||
| * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/lifecycle/pull/1271[Add FreeBSD Support #1271] | ||
| After looking into those changes, I've decided to first introduce some general cleanup steps to keep the required changes for FreeBSD would be rather small. | ||
|
|
||
| This resulted in the following changes that were successfully integrated: | ||
|
|
||
| * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/lifecycle/pull/1431[Remove obsolete // +build lines #1431] | ||
| * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/lifecycle/pull/1432[Use unix build constraint #1432] | ||
| * link:https://github.com/buildpacks/lifecycle/pull/1439[Support FreeBSD build phase #1439] | ||
| With these steps, it is now possible to compile `lifecycle` under FreeBSD. | ||
|
|
||
| The next steps are: | ||
|
|
||
| - Provide missing FreeBSD functionality to `lifecycle`. | ||
| - Further investigate FreeBSD as a build target in `lifecycle`. | ||
| - Investigate and get the tool `pack` to compile and run under FreeBSD. | ||
| - Provide `lifecycle` and/or `pack` via FreeBSD ports. | ||
| - Investigate the idea of FreeBSD buildpacks for some popular languages, similar to link:https://paketo.io/[paketo buildpacks]. |
