Fast native RPM building from any distro, for any distro, via Docker

Build native RPM packages for Centos/RHEL/Fedora from any Linux distro or even OSX, by leveraging docker capabilities. - docker-rpm-builder/docker-rpm-builder

Fast native RPM building from any distro, for any distro, via Docker launched on February 6, 2015 with 32 votes and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Docker-rpm-builder is a development tool that enables users to build native RPM packages for CentOS, RHEL, and Fedora from any Linux distribution or macOS. By leveraging Docker containers, it eliminates the need to have a native CentOS/RHEL/Fedora environment installed locally. This tool is designed for developers and system administrators who need to create RPM packages without maintaining separate physical systems or virtual machines for each target distribution.

    Distr is designed to help software engineers distribute and manage their applications or agents in customer-controlled or shared-responsibility environments. You only need a Docker Compose file or Helm chart—everything else for on-prem is handled by the platform. We’re are an open source dev tool company. Over the past couple of months, we’ve spoken with dozens of software companies to understand their challenges with on-prem deployments. We analyzed the internal tools they’ve built and the best practices from existing solutions, combining them into a prebuilt, Open Source solution that…

    We kept hitting the same wall: you clone some arbitrary repo and just want it to run without any configuration work. So we built Keystone, an open source tool that spins up a Modal sandbox, runs Claude Code inside it, and produces a working .devcontainer/ config (Dockerfile, devcontainer.json, test runner) for any git repo. We build on the dev container standard, so the output works with VS Code and GitHub Codespaces out of the box. Main use cases: reproducible dev/CI environments, self-describing repos, and safely sandboxed coding agents. Our goal is to encourage all repos to…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
