Docker Tools

This is a repo to house some common tools for use in the various .NET Docker repos.

Image Builder

A tool used to build and publish Docker images.

The Image Builder tool can be acquired via a Docker image available at mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet-buildtools/image-builder or built from source via the build script.

The Image Builder tool relies on metadata which defines various information needed to build and tag Docker images. The metadata is stored in a manifest.json file (sample). The metadata schema is defined in source.

The full list of supported commands can be seen by running the tool.

• Linux container environment: docker run -it --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet-buildtools/image-builder:debian-20190223173930 -h
