⁠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 <[email protected]>

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

e.g.

docker-compose build
