Building Corso

Binary

Building locally

Corso is a Go project, and you can build it with go build from <repo root>/src if you have Go installed on your system.

# run from within `./src`
go build -o corso
info

If you don't have Go available, you can find installation instructions here

This will generate a binary named corso in the directory where you run the build.

note

Prebuilt binary artifacts of the latest commit are available on GitHub. You can access them by navigating to the "Summary" page of the Build/Release Corso CI job that was run for the latest commit on the main branch. The downloads will be available in the "Artifacts" section towards the bottom of the page.

Building via Docker

For convenience, the Corso build tooling is containerized. To take advantage, you need Docker installed on your machine.

To build Corso via docker, use the following command from the root of your repo:

./build/build.sh binary

By default, we will build for your current platform. You can pass in all the architectures/platforms you would like to build it for using the --platforms flag as a comma separated list. For example, if you would like to build amd64 and arm64 versions for Linux, you can run the following command:

./build/build.sh binary --platforms linux/amd64,linux/arm64

Once built, the resulting binaries will be available in <repo root>/bin for all the different platforms you specified.

Container Image

If you prefer to build Corso as a container image, use the following command instead:

# Use --help to see all available options
./build/build.sh image
note

Dockerfile used to build the image is available at build/Dockerfile

Similar to binaries, we build your a container image for your current platform by default, but you can change it by explicitly passing in the platforms that you would like to build for. In addition, you can optionally pass the tag that you would like to apply for the image using --tag option.

For example, you can use the following command to create a arm64 image with the tag ghcr.io/alcionai/corso:latest, you can run:

./build/build.sh image --platforms linux/arm64 --tag ghcr.io/alcionai/corso:latest
info

If you run into any issues with building cross platform images, make sure to follow the instructions on Docker docs to setup the build environment for Multi-platform images.
