docker-library

A collection of Dockerfiles

This repo holds a number of Dockerfiles for building "base" images that can then be used in other projects.

Using the images built from docker-library

The Dockerfiles contained in this repo are built and pushed to Docker Hub.

You can use them in a Dockerfile:

FROM idigbio/docker-library.base-idb-backend

You can run them directly:

$ docker run --rm -it idigbio/docker-library.base-idb-backend bash

Adding a new Dockerfile to docker-library

There are 3 steps to add a new Dockerfile to this library repo.

1. Create a new directory. Choose wisely because the directory name will also be used as the docker hub repository name.
2. In the new directory, add and customize README.md and Dockerfile
3. Add new job specifics to the top level .travis.yml in the jobs.include section, using the directory name as the value of DOCKERFILE_DIR and as a component of DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME.

Example:

jobs:
  include:
  - name: "Base for idb-backend"
    env:
      - DOCKERFILE_DIR=base-idb-backend
      - DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME=idigbio/docker-library.base-idb-backend

When the changes are comitted to master, Travis will trigger builds of new docker images and push them to Docker Hub.
