Thanks, I found

which seems to describe such a setup at least for Debian supported
arches. Is there a collection of non-official arches?
No idea. It's been quite some time since I put together the alpha,
hppa, m68k, etc containers. Obviously those didn't have docker
containers, so I must have set up them up via debootstrap, then imported
the result into docker. My primary goal was to use stock debian code
so that I could use apt to install new components over time, update the
containers, etc.
The idea we are using with builder is that the latent (docker) worker
receives the container file which has a buildbot-worker as entry
point, so when the image is started the buildbot-worker inside the
container connects back and receives the actual build commands. See
"Adding a container (latent) worker" in
https://sourceware.org/cgit/builder/tree/README_workers

Yea, I would expect something like that to work fine too. I just wanted
mine to be dynamic and spin things up when needed and drop them when
done. There was a time when all this ran in AWS and thus having things
just lying around resulted in burning credits.
Or do you like help making your tester more public?
All the scripts that drive it are on github. The docker containers
are trivial to make available as well.
github seems a pretty big website. Is there a specific place to look
for these scripts?
Sorry, I could have been more specific. The "JeffreyALaw" account on
github :-)
