This commit makes Travis CI run GNU/Linux tests inside Ubuntu 14.04 i386/x86_64 docker containers. It includes a set of Dockerfiles with everything needed to run/build/package Etcher while a nice `run-command.sh` script that can be used to easily run a command on such Dockerfiles with access to the Etcher source code. The main motivation behind change is that generating cross-architecture AppImages is not possible at the moment (although there are PRs on the way), so this permits us to configure Travis CI to build and publish AppImages for all architectures.

Compile Etcher in Docker
This is directory provides the utilities necessary to be able to run GNU/Linux Etcher (headlessly), compile it, and package it, inside Docker containers.
This directory provides a set of Dockerfiles for each supported architecture that are compiled from a base Dockerfile template. The Dockerfiles install every needed dependency to be able to build and package Etcher for GNU/Linux targets.
Running a command inside the Docker images
We provide a utility script called run-command.sh
which allows you to run a
command in an environment where you have all the dependencies needed to build
and package Etcher, and in where the Etcher source code is available in the
current working directory.
For example:
./run-command.sh \
-r x64 \
-s path/to/etcher/repository \
-c "make info" \
-b "a/temporary/directory/for/docker/build"
The above command will build the corresponding Docker file (if needed), and will run the command on it.
Architecture dependent Dockerfile steps
You can declare certain steps to be run for certain architectures by using the following logic:
<% if (architecture == 'i686') { %>
...
<% } %>
<% if (architecture == 'x86_64') { %>
...
<% } %>
Compiling the Dockerfile.template
If you modify the Dockerfile.template
file, you will need to regenerate the
compiled Dockerfiles by running the compile-template.js
utility script:
node compile-template.js
