Im trying to setup a build and trying to follow the tutorial on this page.

ros-infrastructure/buildfarm_deployment/blob/master/doc/DevelopmentTesting.md

## Docker based local testing

For development a quick way to test is to run a local docker instance of each type of machine.
The following are instructions for setting up these elements.

### Change docker storage driver

Edit `/etc/default/docker` and add the following line:

DOCKER_OPTS="--bip=172.17.42.1/16 --dns=172.17.42.1 --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns-search dev.docker --storage-driver=devicemapper"

### DNS via skydns

DNS lookup will be made available from the default dns above through [skydock](https://github.com/crosbymichael/skydock) in the `dev.docker` domain.
The hostname format is `IMAGE.dev.docker` or `CONTAINER.IMAGE.dev.docker` if there are multiple containers with the same image.

NOTE: For this to work `master::io`, `repo::ip`, and `slave::ip` must all be commented out in all `common.yaml` files.
And the images for the master and repo must be named `master` and `repo` for the DNS lookup to work

This file has been truncated. show original

I cloned this repo and entered the directory.

git clone https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/buildfarm_deployment_config.git

but im unable to locate the build.py file to build the image.

Hi @prem_anand_lakshmana, that documentation is out of date from our old docker in docker experiments. I’ve removed it. Please follow the main instructions in the README.md to set things up.

I’ve opened a PR to update the docs here
