Docker image for KiCad automation scripts suitable for CI/CD
The main objetive is to use it as a base for KiCad automation in CI/CD environments.
The images are uploaded to Docker Hub and GitHub: KiCad 5, KiCad 6, KiCad 7, KiCad 8 and Old compatibility names,
This image is based on kicad_debian and adds some automation tools to it:
- KiBot generate gerbers, drill, position files, etc.
- KiAuto runs DRC/ERC, prints schematics, PCB, etc.
- KiBoM generates HTML and CSV BoMs
- InteractiveHtmlBom generates interactive HTML BoMs
- KiCost generates BoMs with prices
- KiCad Git filters helps to reduce unneeded commits for KiCad files when using git
- KiDiff a tool to see differences between PCBs and schematics, can be used as git plugin
- KiKit stencil and panelization tools
The relation between the packages that contains the images is as depicted in the following image:
