The images are uploaded to Docker Hub and the GitHub packages kicad5_debian, kicad6_debian and kicad7_debian.

  • ghcr.io/inti-cmnb/kicad7_debian:7.0.5.1_d11.6 KiCad 7.0.5.1 on Debian 11.6

Note: 7.0.1.1 adds the following patches to 7.0.1:

Originally the installations were minimal, but starting with 6.0.11 they contain the KiBot and other plug-in dependencies. This was done to reduce the differences between KiBot docker images.

The 3D models aren't included, they weight 10 times the size of these images (makes them 2.5 bigger when compressed), a script called kicad_3d_install.sh is included, run it to install the libraries. Note that KiBot downloads the 3D models on-demand.

If you want to run KiCad interactively from the image use:

export USER_ID=$(id -u)
export GROUP_ID=$(id -g)
docker run -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
    --user $USER_ID:$GROUP_ID \
    --env NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 \
    --workdir="/home/$USER" \
    --volume="/etc/group:/etc/group:ro" \
    --volume="/home/$USER:/home/$USER:rw" \
    --volume="/etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro" \
    --volume="/etc/shadow:/etc/shadow:ro" \
    --volume="/home/$USER:/home/$USER:rw" \
    ghcr.io/inti-cmnb/kicad7_debian:latest kicad

Various script examples are included in this repo.

The images are used to create KiBot images that you can find in the kicad_auto and kicad_auto_test project. The relation between the packages that contains the images is as depicted in the following image:

Layers

Note that now we also have images tagged with *_full these images contains some heavy tools used by KiBot, they include:

  • Blender 3.4
  • Pandoc
  • LaTeX
  • Python test tools
  • Git for LFS

These images are the base for kicad_auto_test images (aka kicad_auto_full)
