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.
