This Docker image provides an easy and reliable way to build Python scripts for both Linux and Windows platforms using PyInstaller. With this image, you can quickly build standalone executable files (.exe for Windows and ELF binary for Linux) from your Python scripts without worrying about platform-specific dependencies.
To use this Docker image, you need to have Docker installed on your system. You can download and install Docker from the official website.
To use this Docker image, you need to mount the directory containing your Python script(s) to the /src directory in the Docker container, and then run the pyinstaller command with appropriate options.
Here's an example command to build an executable file for a Python script named my_script.py located in the current directory:
docker run -v $(pwd)/src:/usr/app/src kaspary/pyinstaller_build my_script.pyThis command will mount the current directory to /src in the Docker container, and then run the pyinstaller command with the my_script.py file as input.
After running the container, you can find the executable file in the /src/build/dist/ directory. This file can be distributed and run on the appropriate platform without any further dependencies.
If you want to build the Docker image yourself, you can clone this repository and run the following command in the cloned directory:
docker build -t pyinstaller_build:latest .This command will build the Docker image with the name pyinstaller_build. You can replace pyinstaller_build with any name you prefer.
