Jon asked me to make a Docker image that contains OxCaml ready to run without the need to build it from scratch.
I have written a simple OCurrent pipeline to periodically poll oxcaml/opam-repository. If the SHA has changed, it builds a Docker image and pushes it to current/opam-staging:oxcaml.
The resulting image can be run like this:
$ docker run --rm -it ocurrent/opam-staging:oxcaml
ubuntu@146eab4efc18:/$ ocaml
OCaml version 5.2.0+ox
Enter
#help;; for help.
#
The exact content of the image may change depending upon requirements, and we should also pick a better place to put it rather than ocurrent/opam-staging!
The pipeline code is available here mtelvers/docker-oxcaml and the service is deployed at oxcaml.image.ci.dev.
