Docker Container for SlipStream Builds

This repository automates the creation of a Docker container for SlipStream builds. It contains all of the external dependencies and tools required to build SlipStream.

Running

The published container can be run with the command:

docker run -it sixsq/slipstream:build

By default, this starts a bash shell as root. You can attach local directories to the container to facilitate access to, for example, SSH credentials or git workspaces.

Using the command:

docker run -it -v ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh sixsq/slipstream:build

will give access to your SSH configuration and credentials from within the container. You can have multiple -v options; other interesting directories to share are your git workspaces and the local maven cache ~/.m2.

Building

The build process uses maven and a Docker maven plugin to create the container. Just do the usual maven dance:

mvn clean install

to create a container locally (probably with changes to the dockerfile commands). This will put the container into your local Docker cache. You can find the image with:

docker images

You should see something like the following listing:

sixsq/slipstream                                build                  ce92c494bb23        46 hours ago        691MB
sixsq/slipstream                                build-1.6.0-SNAPSHOT   ce92c494bb23        46 hours ago        691MB

Two tags will be published, the latest called "build" and the versioned image "build-1.6.0-SNAPSHOT". Note that these are identical; Docker keeps only a single copy of the image under the hood.

Publishing

To publish the container, you must have an account on Docker Cloud and have been invited to the "sixsq" organization.

Once you have access, you can then login to the Docker Cloud from the command line:

$ docker login
Login with your Docker ID to push and pull images from Docker Hub. If you don't have a Docker ID, head over to https://hub.docker.com to create one.
Username (clomps): 
Password: 
Login Succeeded

and then you can push images to the sixsq/slipstream repository with the command docker push.

Be sure to change the version number and to check in any modifications. Be careful not to overwrite existing contains with a version.
