adding more CI tests?

[MaxPeal]

i like to add some CI tests,
like boot some bsd with a different arch

can you give me a hint about the usage of docker-library/bashbrew?

I would love to have some more tests here! This is something I'd considered adding, but hadn't had a chance to do myself yet.

I've done some changes to add a custom test-config.sh over in https://github.com/tianon/dockerfiles, but so far haven't added any custom tests over there. I think a similar approach should work here; https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/tree/master/test is the test suite / wrapper we're currently hooking into.

If we add a test-config.sh and adjust run.sh to include it in --config (like in https://github.com/tianon/dockerfiles), then add a tests directory with a qemu-basics test of some kind, it should "just work" for the most part.

I've definitely got reservations about testing against BSD because my experience with BSD is extremely limited so if anything goes wrong with the tests, my ability to debug/understand what's happening is going to be very limited, but I think there are probably a few minimal Linux-based distributions that should be reasonable to test against.

I'd also like to prioritize testing with KVM more than non-KVM (given it will be more performant and also more likely to have issues).

Even just getting a simple initial run.sh for a qemu-basics test would be a good start!

The images at https://people.debian.org/~gio/dqib/ are a bit on the large size, but might be OK for some basic testing.
