Running azure cli on Raspberry Pi using docker containers

This repository contains docker file which can be used to run Azure CLI 2.0 on raspberry PI. At the moment of this repository was created, azure cli git-hub repository doesn't have proper build script support to build from source code hosted in raspberry Pi. Bug 6092 has been filed.

Easiest way i found to run Azure CLI on Raspberry PI is to modify original azure-cli docker file definition to have cli hosted in arm based docker image. You can run all cli commands inside docker container.

Prepare your Raspbery PI and run Azure CLI

Install Git and Docker

Git installation command

sudo apt-get install git

Docker installation command

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh

Clone and Build repository

sudo git clone https://github.com/gtrifonov/raspberry-pi-alpine-azure-cli.git

cd .\raspberry-pi-alpine-azure-cli

sudo docker build . -t azure-cli

This will build docker image with title 'azure-cli'

Running commands in docker image

Starting Docker container in demon mode and giving it name 'cli'

sudo docker run -d -it --rm --name cli azure-cli

Docker container running as demon with bash shell opened

Verifiying that container running

sudo docker ps

Output

CONTAINER ID	IMAGE	COMMAND	CREATED	STATUS	PORTS	NAMES
17c2e621f9b4	azure-cli	"/usr/bin/entry.sh /…"	49 seconds ago	Up 46 seconds		cli

Executing command login to azure

Since docker container is running and waiting any command to be executed you can use docker exec command. Command below will execute azure cli login.

sudo docker exec cli az login

Once you logged in please use Azure Cli command refference to see available commands and there parameters
