Create an official, Automated Build image on Docker Hub #7

Open pataquets opened 6 years ago

pataquets commented 6 years ago

Docker Hub allows you to create Automated Builds from source: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/ It would add another packaging/distribution/installation method, whose buildings would be triggered automatically on each commit. It also allows to create different image tags from git tags & branches. Also, documentation could easily include a canonical docker run statement to quickly run the software with just a single command.

By making the image build via an AB, you give the resulting image verifiability and auditability. Also, the build is fully automatic. You can have the latest image tag build from HEAD and individual image tags from git's release tags. Some people avoid non-verifiable (manually uploaded) images due to security & traceability reasons.

Docker search command clearly displays AB when listing images (mine is shown):

$ docker search redis-random-data-generator
NAME                                       DESCRIPTION                      STARS     OFFICIAL   AUTOMATED
pataquets/redis-random-data-generator      redis-random-data-generator        0                    [OK]

Just a free Docker Hub account and a quick setup would do. We already have the Dockerfile from #6 :). Ping me if you need help.

Of course, it will be fine. I was pinging you just in case you missed the notifications. Nothing to be sorry of. :)

@SaminOz : Let me know if you had any problem with creating the AB. Even without being published/linked anywhere, my Docker Hub image has +600 pulls: https://hub.docker.com/r/pataquets/redis-random-data-generator Looks like a ready-to-run official image which we could link in the docs (I'll do the PR) would be useful.
