7zip Docker Image

Allows running 7zip commands from within docker. Has support for creating self-extracting windows archive.

Usage:

Run a 7z command inside the image/container:

docker run -it kdvolder/7zip 7z <arguments>

Run a 7z command inside the container to zip up all files from current local dir as a self extracting windows archive:

docker run -it \
    -v $(pwd):/tmp/tozip \
    -w="/tmp/tozip" \
    -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
    kdvolder/7zip \
    7z a -sfx7zConWin64.sfx archive.exe .

Explanation: Mounts the current local directory as a volume on path /tmp/to-zip. Use that directory as working dir and the runs command 7z a -sfx7zConWin64.sfx archive.exe . in the container. This will:

• create a self extracting windows archive file called archive.exe at the root of the directory.
• add all files from the current dir to this archive.

Upon completion of the command you will find a archive.exe file at the root of the local dir.

Using the included rezip script to download a zip from a url, unpack it, then repack it as a self extracting windows archive.

docker run -it \
    -v $(pwd):/output \
    -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
    kdvolder/7zip \
    rezip https://download.springsource.com/snapshot/STS4/nightly/dist/e4.12/spring-tool-suite-4-4.4.1.CI-B2008-e4.12.0-win32.win32.x86_64.zip

Upon completion of the command you will find a archive.exe file at local directory from which you called the command.

To convert all sts windows distrubtion zip files in a directory into self extracting zip files, run this command from the project root:

docker run -it \
    -v $(pwd):/data \
    -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
    kdvolder/7zip \
    rezip-sts

This will find all the files *.win32.x86_64.zip unpack and repack them as 7zip self-extracting windows executable with a name *.win32.x86_64.7z.exe.
