I use this image to build distributed from my laptop when I don't want to wait.
This article by Konrad Kleine about compiling with distcc containers is a great place to start:
On Red Hat Developer Blog: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/05/15/2-tips-to-make-your-c-projects-compile-3-times-faster/

This section is mostly written for myself but I hope you will find it useful.
Since I only infrequently use this, it is simpler to just build it on the machine where I want to run it.
Download the sourcecode from this repository. Unzip the folder.
cd ~/Downloads/distcc-docker-images-*
docker build -t fedora## .
Replace ## with the fedora version of the base image
docker run -p 3632:3632 -p 3633:3633 fedora## --allow 0.0.0.0/0
Replace ## with whatever you used when creating the image
export DISTCC_HOSTS='localhost/jobs hostname:3632/jobs'
Replace jobs with a number, indicating the max number of jobs to run on that host.
This can also be saved to /etc/distcc/hosts
make -j32 CC="distcc gcc" [target]
Replace [target] with the desired target
Pro tip: Put time first to see how much faster you're building now!
