Add a better Docker build script + update Dockerfile (#4222)
* Add a Docker build script * Add usage and error messages * Add -r to reads Thanks mechmerlin * Add keyboard:keymap form, improve script * Add target argument, change usage forms in script * Add check for more than 3 args in keyboard:keymap:target form * Change Docker base image to debian, use community repo This matches what qmk_compiler uses (https://github.com/qmk/qmk_compiler/blob/master/Dockerfile#L1). I've removed the maintainer as we now have a community build on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/r/qmkfm/qmk_firmware). This Dockerfile will also be maintained by the community. * Change build command format to keyboard:keymap * Call make directly in container run command * Simplify script, remove 3-arg form * Add COPY to Dockerfile so images are usable in and of themselves Also change WORKDIR from /qmk to /qmk_firmware * Add USB pass-through for Linux and docker-machine hosts * Read directly into variables instead of array * Alphabetically sort dependencies in Dockerfile * Set executable bit on util/docker_build.sh * Update Docker docs * Add warning about Docker on Windows * Expand comment in docs * Check docker-machine exit code instead of string * Only match --help with whole arguments * Make script POSIX-compliant * Convert script indentation to tabs

+If this is a bit complex for you, Docker might be the turn-key solution you need. After installing [Docker CE](https://docs.docker.com/install/#supported-platforms), run the following command from the `qmk_firmware` directory to build a keyboard/keymap:
```bash
-# You'll run this every time you want to build a keymap
-# modify the keymap and keyboard assignment to compile what you want
-# defaults are ergodox/default
-
-docker run -e keymap=gwen -e keyboard=ergodox_ez --rm -v $('pwd'):/qmk:rw edasque/qmk_firmware
+util/docker_build.sh keyboard:keymap
+# For example: util/docker_build.sh ergodox_ez:steno
```
+This will compile the targeted keyboard/keymap and leave the resulting `.hex` or `.bin` file in the QMK directory for you to flash. If `:keymap` is omitted, the `default` keymap is used. Note that the parameter format is the same as when building with `make`.
-On Windows Docker seems to have issues with the VOLUME tag in Dockerfile, and `$('pwd')` won't print a Windows compliant path; use full path instead, like this:
-
+You can also start the script without any parameters, in which case it will ask you to input the build parameters one by one, which you may find easier to use:
```bash
-docker run -e keymap=default -e keyboard=ergodox_ez --rm -v D:/Users/Sacapuces/Documents/Repositories/qmk:/qmk:rw edasque/qmk_firmware
+util/docker_build.sh
+# Reads parameters as input (leave blank for defaults)
+```
+There is also support for building _and_ flashing the keyboard straight from Docker by specifying the `target` as well:
+```bash
+util/docker_build.sh keyboard:keymap:target
+# For example: util/docker_build.sh planck/rev6:default:dfu-util
```
+If you're on Linux, this should work out of the box. On Windows and macOS, it requires [Docker Machine](http://gw.tnode.com/docker/docker-machine-with-usb-support-on-windows-macos/) to be running. This is tedious to set up, so it's not recommended; use QMK Toolbox instead.
-This will compile the targeted keyboard/keymap and leave it in your QMK directory for you to flash.
+!> Docker for Windows requires [Hyper-V](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v) to be enabled. This means that it cannot work on versions of Windows which don't have Hyper-V, such as Windows 7, Windows 8 and **Windows 10 Home**.
## Vagrant
If you have any problems building the firmware, you can try using a tool called Vagrant. It will set up a virtual computer with a known configuration that's ready-to-go for firmware building. OLKB does NOT host the files for this virtual computer. Details on how to set up Vagrant are in the [vagrant guide](getting_started_vagrant.md).
