What is docker-base?

docker-base is a base image for a multi-container Docker web project. It will contain all the packages required for a normal web server. It was designed with django in mind and with Polymer for its frontend however it can easily be modified for any web application.

How to use this image

create a new folder

e.g.

mkdir app

create 'requirements' directory

e.g.

cd app
mkdir requirements
touch requirements/base.txt requirements/dev.text requirements/prod.txt

create 'docker-entrypoint.sh'

touch docker-entrypoint.sh

docker-entrypoint.sh should contain any relevant commands, inititalisation required for a successful run of this new container. Please see Dockerfile best practices for more information.

create a new Dockerfile

e.g.

FROM jtarball/docker-base:latest
MAINTAINER James Tarball <james.tarball@gmail.com>

ENV ENV_TYPE dev
ENV APP_DIR /app

EXPOSE 8000

CMD ["app"]

This Dockerfile MUST include the following:

• ENV_TYPE
  • environment type for requirements install so in this example can only be ('base', 'dev', 'prod')
• APP_DIR
  • application directory

build & run using docker-compose

e.g.

docker-compose build
docker-compose up
