This guide aims to provide some guidelines on how to use Docker to quickly set up DHIS2.

As a developer you operate on many repositories. To keep all of the repositories up-to-date there are as many strategies as there are developers. Personally I have gone from doing it manually, to writing scripts (e.g. 1, 2), trying different tools (e.g. 1), and the latter is what this post is about.

The last year has seen some significant changes to how the build system operates and this post will walk through the technical aspects of the system. The release and development processes which drive the build system is out of scope for this post and subsequently left out.
