Mat's Docker Image collection

Various Docker files that I use.

NOTE: You'll need TCL installed on your system. I use my own copy of tangle based on literate programming. If you want to use a docker file, you'll have to generate it.

Standard Docker Stuff

I like to insure that my containers follow a few simple rules.

  • Never run as root.

    • For containers, I liked to have a single user I run in.
    • Needed software and configuration that requires root should be done first.
    • At the end, the container should default to be running as that user.
  • A set working directory that can be a docker volume or a volume passed from the host.

    • This present a challenge in make sure that that uid/gid is correct between the active user and the directory.
    • When using a host volume, I also have to make sure the UID/GID matches to not have any permission issues.
  • While we also like to use the latest version of a base docker image, that isn't always possible.

    • We should default to building the latest version, but allow for changing that.

Docker Files

  • ubi9+epel
    • Redhat's Universal Base Image (UBI) for RHEL9, with epel installed and read for use.
  • ubuntu
    • Yes, I use Ubuntu from time to time.
  • fossil
    • I use fossil quite a bit. Nice to have an easy way to run it. I would recommend use the Dockerfile provide by fossil. I have this one here to highlight the usage of the scratch docker image.

As always, go Guardians!
