build dependencies with no cache #202

Closed ryanfraserRGA closed 3 years ago

ryanfraserRGA commented 3 years ago

Hey there, I've been evaluating dobi for a project I'm working on, and it my current top candidate of what's out there. Defining image dependencies has been really quite a wonderful thing. My main question (and if this is not the right place for it, I apologize ahead of time) is this: Is there a way to force image builds with no-cache? I have a base image that doesn't change very often and therefore will remain cached. However, in the event a yum package were to be updated, there would be no way for docker to detect this as we don't have versions hard coded in our base image. If this is a silly question that I overlooked the answer in the documentation, I apologize ahead of time.

I don't think there is any way to set no-cache right now. Maybe an env var to set that would be good.

You can always break the cache by adding an ENV breakthecache=1 to the Dockerfile before the line you want to rebuild, but that's not very convenient.

Thanks for the feedback, that might be a little kludgey for me to sell to the team. Would love to see a configuration flag in the future or a way to pass additional build options through the dobi yaml. Either way, thanks for the great work.
