libgpod-docker

Docker image for building libgpod with python3 bindings, no mono bindings cuz I haven't really looked into it.

Building library and Python bindings

# I'm using john8675309's fork that's supposed to have better python3 support
git clone https://github.com/john8675309/libgpod-0.8.3

docker build -t libgpod --target build .

mkdir build
mkdir build/lib
docker create --name build_cont libgpod
docker cp 'build_cont:/usr/local/lib/libgpod.la' 'build/lib/'
docker cp 'build_cont:/usr/local/lib/libgpod.a' 'build/lib/'
docker cp 'build_cont:/usr/local/lib/libgpod.so.4.3.2' 'build/lib/'
docker cp 'build_cont:/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gpod' 'build/gpod'
docker rm build_cont

Python usage

For runtime dependencies you'll need to install these (debian package names, might be different for your distro)

• python3
• python3-gi
• python3-mutagen
• libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0
• libimobiledevice6
• libgpod

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:'path/to/parent/of/gpod/module' \
python test.py

Docker

Example of running a Python script inside a libgpod environment container (see test.py and Dockerfile for more details). This is just something I quickly put together to test stuff, so it might look a little janky.

docker build -t libgpod-runtime-py --target runtime-py .
docker create \
	--mount type=bind,src='/run/media/gibberish/GOOBER',dst='/ipodmnt' \
	--rm --name runtime_cont libgpod-runtime-py \
	python3 test.py
docker cp test.py runtime_cont:/
docker start -ia runtime_cont
