How Linux Containers can Help to Manage Development Environments for IoT and Embedded Systems
summary
Demonstrates Rebuild, a Ruby‑gem CLI that uses Docker Linux containers to package SDKs and cross toolchains, rebuild CLI and maps local filesystem to preserve ownership so source stays local while builds run in containers. Shows a Raspberry Pi toolchain created and used to produce a working binary in about four minutes (vs. hours or days to configure manually). Supports Docker Hub/private and a native registry, interactive modify/commit/publish workflow, versioning for audits, and Mac/Windows hosts via containers.
