To build /e/ without docker you can use this shell script. Copy the script below (up to #end script) and save as builde.sh on your linux computer. Modify DEVICE_LIST and BRANCH_NAME to fit your needs. The script will install everything you need to build /e/. If you leave it as-is it will build oreo for leeco s2.

#end script
On your linux machine open a terminal window.
Commands you have to type in the terminal window.
If not already there make the directory /srv: sudo mkdir /srv
Put the script above in the /srv dir.
Cd into the /srv dir you just created: cd /srv
Make the script executable: sudo chmod 755 builde.sh
Run the script: sudo ./builde.sh
This script does exact the same thing as the docker build method(without docker of course). The buildscripts are downloaded from this gitlab repo. These files are stored in /root/ on your linux computer.
So for those of you that want to modify the build method for customising purposes, check /root/init.sh and /root/build.sh files. (comment out the complete “Copy build files to /root/” section if you do)
When everything went well, the srv should contain al these folders:
Look into zips directory for your ROM. In case of error, check the logs directory.
Note: I tested this on Ubuntu 18.04 and @harvey186 on linux Mint but it may work on other distro’s.
this post goes a long way in easing the pains of those of us who want to try our hand at building a custom ROM without the Docker part.
