+# A simple base docker image for RH's UBI9 Docker Image
+
+Redhat has recently made their Universal Base Image (UBI) availabe 
+on the Docker Registery (docker.io/libarary/redhat/ubi9). 
+
+Of course, it doesn't have the ELPL repository enabled on it, which is 
+something I use consistently with the RHel based images.
+
+There are a few other things I liked to do with my docker images to help 
+make development and usage a bit more standardized.
+
+## UBI9 EPEL Docker Image
+
+### Setup FROM and enable a version choice.
+
+First let's set the where we'll pull from. I use `podman` and `docker` equally, so on I give the full path to the FROM image.
+
+An `ARG` for the version, `VER` is there. This can be overridden with `--build-arg 'VER=<version>'`.
+
+```
+<<base.image>>=
+ARG VER=latest
+FROM docker.io/redhat/ubi9:${VER}
+@  % def VER
+```
+
+### Setup user specific arguments.
+
+Setup a base username, uid, gid, and work directory with some defaults. All of these can be overridden with `-build-arg "ARG=VALUE"`.
+
+```
+<<base.userargs>>=
+ARG baseUSER="mat.kovach"
+ARG baseUID=5000
+ARG baseGID=5000
+ARG baseDIR="/work"
+@
+```
+
+### Add user and work directory
+
+You'll need to be careful here to not change a current directory. For example, do not set baseDIR="/bin". 
+
+Add the group, user, (with the home directory of the user ad the work directory) and insure the proper ownership on the work directory.
+
+```
+<<base.setupuser>>=
+RUN groupadd -g ${baseGID} ${baseUSER} &&      \
+    useradd -c 'work user' -m -u ${baseUID}    \
+    -g ${baseGID} -d ${baseDIR} ${baseUSER} && \ 
+    chown -R ${baseUID}:${baseGID} ${baseDIR}
+@
+```
+
+### Add repos and update software.
+
+First, we'll add the EPEL repo. If you have additional repos you want to 
+enable, add them here.
+
+```
+<<base.enablerepos>>=
+RUN dnf install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm && \
+    /usr/bin/crb enable && \
+    dnf update -y 
+@
+```
+
+### Addtional root changes
+
+We are still root at this point, this is where we add software, make 
+additional changes, etc.
+
+```
+<<base.addsoftware>>=
+RUN dnf install -y ed joe tcl tcllib
+@
+```
+
+The different sections are setup based on how often they may be changed. 
+The more likely some will change, the further down they should be to help 
+minimize the layers that need to be rebuilt.
+
+### Make sure we the user, volume, and workdir setup
+
+```
+<<base.end>>=
+USER ${baseUSER}
+VOLUME ${baseDIR}
+WORKDIR ${baseDIR}
+# you can add entry point, etc. here.
+@
+```
+
+### Pulling it all together
+
+```
+<<ubi9epel.dockerfile>>=
+<<base.image>>
+<<base.userargs>>
+<<base.setupuser>>
+<<base.enablerepos>>
+<<base.addsoftware>>
+<<base.end>>
+@
+```
+
+## build and test
+
+`docker build -t mek:ubi9 -f ubi9-epel.dockerfile .`
+
+`docker run --rm -it mek:ubi9 /bin/bash`
+
+```
+$ docker run --rm -it mek:ubi9 /bin/bash
+[mat.kovach@4bd996f669b2 ~]$ pwd
+/work
+[mat.kovach@4bd996f669b2 ~]$ id -a
+uid=5000(mat.kovach) gid=5000(mat.kovach) groups=5000(mat.kovach)
+$ dnf repolist
+Not root, Subscription Management repositories not updated
+
+This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
+
+repo id                 repo name
+epel                    Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 - x86_64
+ubi-9-appstream-rpms    Red Hat Universal Base Image 9 (RPMs) - AppStream
+ubi-9-baseos-rpms       Red Hat Universal Base Image 9 (RPMs) - BaseOS
+ubi-9-codeready-builder Red Hat Universal Base Image 9 (RPMs) - CodeReady Builder
+```
+
+Now let's try using my current working directory inside the container.
+
+```
+$ docker run --rm -it -v $(PWD):/work mek:ubi9 /bin/bash
+bash-5.1$ pwd
+/work
+bash-5.1$ ls -l *.md
+-rw-r--r-- 1 mat.kovach mat.kovach 3474 Apr  5 14:57 UBI9-DOCKER.md
+bash-5.1$ touch test
+bash-5.1$ exit
+exit
+Mats-MBP:docker mek$ ls -l test
+-rw-r--r--@ 1 mek  staff  0 Apr  5 11:06 test
