bobtfish/fstrim repository overview

⁠fstrim in a can

This is a small Docker recipe to build fstrim easily and install it in your system.

⁠How do I install fstrim with this?

If you want to install fstrim into /usr/local/bin, just do this:

docker run --rm -v /usr/local/bin:/target bobtfish/fstrim

The bobtfish/fstrim container will detect that /target is a mountpoint, and it will copy the fstrim binary into it.

If you don't trust me, and prefer to extract the fstrim binary, rather than allowing my container to potentially wreak havoc into your system's $PATH, you can also do this:

docker run --rm bobtfish/fstrim cat /fstrim > /tmp/fstrim

Then do whatever you want with the binary in /tmp/fstrim.

⁠Caveats

• This only works on Intel 64 bits platforms.
