# Generate Build Container

1. set env variable PATH_TO_KUBERNETES_REPO to the path to your local kubernetes/kubernetes copy: 
    ```
    export GHUSER="mtrachier"
    export PATH_TO_KUBERNETES_REPO="/Users/$GHUSER/go/src/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes"
    ```
2. set env variable GOVERSION to the expected version of go for the kubernetes/kubernetes version checked out:  
    ```
    export GOVERSION=$(yq -e '.dependencies[] | select(.name == "golang: upstream version").version' $PATH_TO_KUBERNETES_REPO/build/dependencies.yaml)
    ```
3. set env variable GOIMAGE to the expected container image to base our custom build image on: 
    ```
    export GOIMAGE="golang:${GOVERSION}-alpine"
    ```
4. set env variable BUILD_CONTAINER to the contents of a dockerfile for the build container: 
    ```
    export BUILD_CONTAINER="FROM ${GOIMAGE}\nRUN apk add --no-cache bash gnupg git make tar gzip curl git coreutils rsync alpine-sdk"
    ```
5. use Docker to create the build container: 
    ```
    echo -e $BUILD_CONTAINER | docker build -t ${GOIMAGE}-dev -
    ```
