Docker images to build EdgeTX
February 22, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
This repository contains Dockerfiles for container images that provide consistent isolated environments for building EdgeTX firmwares. It is a potentially easier alternative to setting up the build environments natively on the host operating system using instructions at https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/wiki.
edgetx-dev
The edgetx-dev image is intended as build environment for local firmware builds. It is meant to be used in interactive mode together with the EdgeTX sources.
Assuming you have a clone checkout of the https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx repository or its fork in ~/src/edgetx, you can build the edgetx-dev image locally
% make edgetx-dev
and then run the container with the EdgeTX sources mounted
% docker run -it --rm -w /src -v ~/src/edgetx:/src edgetx-dev bash
On an SELinux-enabled system, you may need to add --security-opt label=disable argument to docker run to give the container access to your home directory.
On the container shell prompt like
root@64e263539532:/src#
you can then just do whatever you need to do with your EdgeTX source tree (checkout the desired branch, compile, test).
If unsure, start with the instructions at https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/wiki/Build-Instructions-using-docker-and-Windows-10 or https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/wiki/Build-Instructions-under-Ubuntu-22.04.
You can skip the step of building the container image and instead use the image built from this repository, stored in the GitHub Container Registry:
% docker run -it --rm -w /src -v ~/src/edgetx:/src ghcr.io/edgetx/edgetx-dev bash
edgetx-builder
The edgetx-builder image is meant to be used in cloudbuild project. It is likely of little use if you want to do local builds.
If you have a need for the image, you can build it locally using
% make edgetx-builder
or just use ghcr.io/edgetx/edgetx-builder.
edgetx-wasi
The edgetx-wasi image is meant to be used for building platform agnostic Companion simulator plugins. This functionality is still a work in progress.
You can build it locally using
% make edgetx-wasi
or just use ghcr.io/edgetx/edgetx-wasi.
