3.2. Building Docker Images Locally

If you need to customize the base SimBricks Docker images—for example, to provision custom infrastructure or deploy a specialized self-hosted runner—you can build them locally. You will need git, make, and docker build installed. Other dependencies than that should not be required.

Run the following commands to build the images (this can, depending on your system take between 15-45 minutes):

git clone https://github.com/simbricks/simbricks.git
cd simbricks
make docker-images

This builds and locally tags a series of Docker images, including the simbricks/simbricks-local image.
