Dockerfile to build scrcpy

[rom1v]

Here is a draft Dockerfile to create an environment to build scrcpy.

You should use podman (rootless), but you can also use docker.

# Build the image
cd container
podman build -t scrcpy-builder .

Then you can instantiate (remove --rm if you plan to keep your changes):

podman run -it --rm scrcpy-builder bash

From the container:

git clone https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy -b dev
cd scrcpy
meson setup x
meson compile -Cx

The most difficult part was to make gradle pre-download the dependencies in the image (so that it's not performed for each container instance).

Alternatively, you can run with your host scrcpy folder mounted:

podman run \
  -v PATH_TO_SCRCPY:/home/debian/scrcpy \
  --userns=keep-id \
  -it scrcpy-builder \
  bash
