chrisramsay/docker-python repository overview

⁠docker-python

Docker machine for working on general Python projects. Has IPython⁠ and Jupyter⁠ installed.

⁠Build Script

There is a build.sh file packaged here. This is to help with further development of the container. One of a number of possible options must be passed at run time.

⁠build

Runs the standard docker build command with a few build arguments; tags as both verson and latest picking up build version from the VERSION file.

⁠release

Does not execute docker build. Instead modifies the Dockerfile replacing in-place values from the Dockerfile.tmpl with label values. This should be done prior to a tagged release.

⁠restore

Used in order to reinstate the normal Dockerfile for continuing development. Utility function only.

⁠Development Process

• Create a new release branch
• Change directory to the build directory
• Bump the version number in build/VERSION
• Run $ ./build.sh restore to set up a clean Dockerfile
• Make any required changes to build/Dockerfile.tmpl
• Run $ ./build.sh build to build current tag and latest
• Once all the work is complete, run $ ./build.sh release
• Merge and tag the release
