Running in Docker

You can compile Brave for Linux using a Docker container.

First clone this repo and enter the repo directory:

git clone https://github.com/brave/brave.git
cd brave

Start Docker then build the image from the Dockerfile:

docker build -t blb .

And run it, mounting the appropriate directories:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/src -v $(pwd)/.sccache:/root/.cache/sccache blb

Dependencies are included in the image so there's no need to run ./src/build/install-build-deps.sh.

Now you can proceed with build scripts such as npm run init, npm run sync -- --all and npm run build -- --debug_build=true --official_build=false. See ./src/out for the results.
