What I would really like is something like Docker to build images for my raspberry pis. Just a single file, shell commands, that's it. I feel that Yocto is already too complicated if you want a reproducable setup for you raspberry pi at home.

I've been working on something recently that you might find interesting: https://github.com/makrocosm/makrocosm

It's not a shell script, but it has makefile rules that make it relatively simple to build a Docker image for your architecture, export it and turn into a filesystem image, build a kernel, u-boot, etc The referenced "example project" repo builds a basic Alpine image for the Raspberry Pi (https://github.com/makrocosm/example-project/tree/main/platf...) and others

It was motivated by frustrations with Yocto at a new job after 8 or so years working on firmware for network equipment using an offshoot of uClinux. Hoping to convince new job to use Makrocosm before we settle on Yocto.

That’s what Balena does. Base immutable OS and docker images.
