PS2 How to build Open PS2 Loader using Docker container

Developer
Thanks to the usage of Docker, it is even easier than ever to build Open PS2 Loader.

To install Docker Engine, follow the instructions here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

(Note: if you want to use podman instead, just replace "docker" with "podman" in the following steps below)

## Running the container and cloning the repository
To clone the Open PS2 Loader repository and change directory into it, open a new terminal and run the following commands:
Code: 
docker run --name opl_build_tmp -it ghcr.io/ps2homebrew/ps2homebrew:main sh
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader.git
cd Open-PS2-Loader

## Building Open PS2 Loader
To build Open PS2 Loader, run the following command:
Code: 
make

## Copying the built Open PS2 Loader
To copy the built "OPNPS2LD.ELF" out of the container, do the following:
Open a new terminal and run the following command to copy "OPNPS2LD.ELF" out of the container:
Code: 
docker cp opl_build_tmp:/root/Open-PS2-Loader/opl.elf ./OPNPS2LD.ELF
where ./OPNPS2LD.ELF is the path where you want to place the output file on the host filesystem.

## Cleaning up
After you are finished with the container, in the terminal where you typed "docker run", type in the following:
Code: 
exit

To clean up and remove any files related to the container, type in the following:
Code: 
docker rm opl_build_tmp

How much size is the docker container for ps2dev/opl ?
Im asking just for curiosity sake, im learning about docker containers... and the first idea that comes to mind is this concept fits pretty well with having a USB flash stick dedicated to the project
You know... is needed to invest some money to buy a USB flash stick of a size close to the project files (or a bit bigger let say double the size for long term just incase), and you have your portable compilation enviroment
Also, is easy to backup it or/and sync it with several PC's by using tools like https://freefilesync.org/
 
Just an FYI ... before you can run "make build opl.elf", you'll have to "cd" into the OPL directory.

Code: 
$ cd Open-PS2-Loader

@uyjulian missed that part ... :P

And for some reason, the Docker container isn't compiling for me tonight ...

Code:

Hello. Thank you for your good tutorial. I was able to build the OPNPS2LD.ELF file with your method. But the size of this file is about 12 MB. How can I reduce the size to 1 MB?
 
The latest version of opl 1.2 beta has many bugs and does not recognize many USB flash drives in fat32 mode and does not run many games, version 1.1.0 also has the problem of fat32, the best version is 1.0.0. Can you create a Docker image? To compile version 1.0.0 for each?
An image that supports both homebrew and dailybuild versions
can you make please
