When building image, use layer cache from pulled image #19

Open kdmccormick opened 1 year ago

kdmccormick commented 1 year ago

Background

When I run:

tutor images pull openedx

it pulls openedx:VERSION from Dockerhub. Docker reuses any image layers that are already in the cache, and it's a no-op if I already have the latest image downloaded. Great.

When I run:

tutor dev dc build lms

it builds openedx-dev:VERSION, but it will not reuse the image layers pulled from openedx:VERSION, even though openedx shares several dozen layers with openedx-dev! It will start right from Step 1 at the top of the Dockerfile. That makes the build take way more time and bandwidth than it needs to.

Tasks

TBD

@regisb Your recent fix reminded me of this issue. No rush, but I'm curious if you have thoughts on this.

regisb commented 1 year ago

Would adding the following lines to the docker-compose-dev.yml template help?

build:
  ...
  cache_from:
    - {{ DOCKER_IMAGE_OPENEDX }}

Can you please try whether this improves the situation? (see docker-compose cache_from reference)

I need to put this down for today, but here's what I've found so far...

System

Ubuntu 20.04 on AMD64 docker==20.10.21 docker-compose==1.25.0 tutor==14.2.2, installed via git, all plugins disabled

Setup

There were a few steps I had to take before Compose would even consider using the openedx image as a cache:

Test


# Clear out most of your Docker cache for accurate results
tutor local start -d lms  # ensure that your openedx image is in use
docker system prune -af  # remove all unused images, cache layers, etc
tutor local stop

# Ensure openedx image is up-to-date
tutor images pull openedx

# Try building the openedx-dev image
tutor dev dc build lms

My result

Here's the first portion of the openedx-dev build:

Interestingly I see the line:

 => importing cache manifest from docker.io/overhangio/openedx:14.2.2

Unfortunately, the build stlil took a long time, and involved a lot of scrolling text that the fancy new buildx CLI hides. So I don't think any of the cached image layers were used.

If I run the same command again, I get:

Notice that this second invocation shows CACHED for every layer, whereas the first invocation didn't. That implies that the first openedx-dev build still isn't using the cached openedx layers, whereas subsequent openedx-dev builds do use the cached openedx-dev layers 😕

one idea I had in my mind is to explicitly define an image tree in tutor which would allow to rebuild a given image from a chosen stage.without relying entirely on docker.

I am interested in digging into this matter when I have some time, too.

Should we keep this issue open? After all, we are really not supposed to build images with tutor dev dc build ... anymore.
