isula-build

isula-build is a tool provided by iSula team for building container images. It can quickly build the container image according to the given Dockerfile.

The binary file isula-build is a CLI tool and isula-builder runs as a daemon responding all the requests from client.

It provides a command line tool that can be used to

• build an image from a Dockerfile(build)
• list all images in local store(image)
• import a basic container image(import)
• load image layers(load)
• remove specified images(rm)
• exporting images layers(save)
• tag local images(tag)
• pull image from remote repository(pull)
• push image to remote repository(push)
• view operating environment and system info(info)
• login remote image repository(login)
• logout remote image repository(logout)
• query isula-build version(version)

We also

• be compatible with Dockerfile grammar
• support extended file attributes, e.g., linux security, IMA, EVM, user, trusted
• support different image formats, e.g., docker-archive, isulad

• make
• golang (version 1.13 or higher)
• btrfs-progs-devel
• device-mapper-devel
• glib2-devel
• gpgme-devel
• libassuan-devel
• libseccomp-devel
• git
• bzip2
• systemd-devel

You can install them on openEuler with yum:

sudo yum install make btrfs-progs-devel device-mapper-devel glib2-devel gpgme-devel libassuan-devel libseccomp-devel git bzip2 go-md2man systemd-devel golang

Get the source code with git:

git clone https://gitee.com/openeuler/isula-build.git

Enter the source code directory and begin compiling:

cd isula-build
sudo make

After compiling success, you can install the binaries and default configuration files simply with:

sudo make install

Example on building container images

Requirements

For building container images, runc is required.

You can get runc by the help of installing docker or docker-runc on your openEuler distro by:

sudo yum install docker

or

sudo yum install docker-runc

Building image

Here is an example for building a container image, for more details please refer to usage.

Create a simple buildDir and write the Dockerfile

FROM alpine:latest
LABEL foo=bar
COPY ./* /home/dir1/

Build the image in the buildDir

$ sudo isula-build ctr-img build -f Dockerfile .
STEP  1: FROM alpine:latest
STEP  2: LABEL foo=bar
STEP  3: COPY ./* /home/dir1/
Getting image source signatures
