# ctrl/Dockerfile.deps
## Purpose
The toolchain installer image. It does NOT run the cluster — it installs a toolchain onto the host and gets out of the way.
This exists to kill a bootstrap paradox: a plain bash installer needs curl, jq and sha256sum to already be present, and a minimal Debian has none of them. It carries its own toolchain, so the only host prerequisite is Docker.
## Variants
Two variants from one file:
```
docker build -f ctrl/Dockerfile.deps --target deps -t <slug>-deps .
docker build -f ctrl/Dockerfile.deps --target deps-full -t <slug>-deps:full .
```
`deps-full` bakes every pinned binary in at build time, and the manifests rig's own addons apply (metallb, cert-manager, metrics-server). `docker save` it and you have the whole installer as one file to carry into an air-gapped network. There, put the manifests where the addons look for them:
```
docker run --rm -v "$PWD/vendor:/out/vendor" rig-deps:full manifests --to /out/vendor/manifests
```
Each is verified against its pin on the way out, and again when an addon uses it. The addons' container images still have to be preloaded into the local registry: the manifests reference quay.io and registry.k8s.io, and registry mirroring covers docker.io only.
## Packages
ca-certificates + curl: fetch and verify. graphviz + python3: render diagrams and validate the arch model, so the host never needs an apt package.
docker-cli, NOT docker.io: we only ever talk to the host's daemon through the mounted socket, and under `--no-install-recommends` the docker.io package ships docker-init without the actual `docker` binary.
## The installer is the standalone kit
The installer is the generated standalone kit, not deps.sh plus the files it reads. A kit is one file with its pins frozen in and is proven to run with nothing else from rig present — which is exactly what an image needs, and `make standalone` keeps it current. Pins are the same in every profile's kit.
