Rockcraft Gradle Plugin

Builds Ubuntu ROCK image for your application. The plugin requires rockcraft installed.

Getting started

Install rockcraft: snap install rockcraft.

To use the plugin, apply the following two steps:

1. Apply the plugin

Using the plugins DSL:

Groovy

plugins {
    id 'io.github.rockcrafters.rockcraft' version '0.2.1'
}

Kotlin

plugins {
    id("io.github.rockcrafters.rockcraft") version "0.2.1"
}

Alternatively, you can use the buildscript DSL:

Groovy

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.github.rockcrafters.rockcraft:0.2.1'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'io.github.rockcrafters.rockcraft-plugin'

Kotlin

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            setUrl("https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/")
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("io.github.rockcrafters.rockcraft:0.2.1")
    }
}
apply(plugin = "io.github.rockcrafters.rockcraft")

2. Configure ROCK container

The plugin allows setting up container summary and description, target architectures and the startup service command line.

Groovy

rockcraft {
    buildPackage = 'openjdk-21-jdk'
    targetRelease = 21
    summary = 'A ROCK summary'
    description = 'README.md'
    command = '/usr/bin/java -jar jars/application.jar'
    source = 'http://github.com/myuser/chisel-releases'
    branch = 'my-chisel-release-branch'
    slices = ['busybox_bins', 'fontconfig_config']
    architectures = ['amd64', 'arm64']
    createService = false
    rockcraftYaml = 'rockcraft.yaml'
}

Kotlin

rockcraft {
    buildPackage = "openjdk-21-jdk"
    targetRelease = 21
    summary = "A ROCK summary"
    description = "README.md"
    command = "/usr/bin/java -jar jars/application.jar"
    source = "http://github.com/myuser/chisel-releases"
    branch = "my-chisel-release-branch"
    slices("busybox_bins", "fontconfig_config")
    architectures("amd64", "arm64")
    createService = false
    rockcraftYaml =  "rockcraft.yaml"
}
