Suggestion: publish docker images

[momiji]

Hello,

is it possible to publish prebuilt docker images, based on tags for example, in dockerhub and ghcr (github container registry), like this: https://github.com/users/momiji/packages/container/viya4-deployment/versions.

I don't think it is important to worry about the viya-deployment ansible playbook included in the docker image (which is still required because build relies on requirements.txt), as we can override it during runtime:

• mount volume as /viya4-deployment.new
• rsync from /viya4-deployment.new to /viya4-deployment without removing .ansible
• any extra required steps, like injecting additional ca certificates

My usage is something like this:

$ docker run --rm -it
    ... \
    -v $PWD/viya4-deployment:/viya4-deployment.new:ro \
    -v $PWD/viya4-entrypoint.sh:/viya4-entrypoint.sh:ro \
    ... \
    --entrypoint $PWD/viya4-entrypoint.sh \
    sassoftware/viya4-deployment:6.4 \
    --tags install,viya

with a viya4-entrypoint.sh like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -ex

[ -d /ca-certs/ ] && {
    install -m 0750 -d /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ca-certs/
    ls /ca-certs/ | xargs -i cp /ca-certs/{} /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ca-certs/{}.crt
    update-ca-certificates
}

[ -d /viya4-deployment.new/ ] && {
    rsync -a /viya4-deployment.new/ /viya4-deployment/ --delete --exclude /.ansible
}

chmod +x /viya4-deployment/docker-entrypoint.sh

cmd=/viya4-deployment/docker-entrypoint.sh
[ "${1:-}" = "bash" ] && cmd=/bin/bash && shift

exec $cmd "$@"

This requires PM review

Hey @momiji,

For legal and support reasons we are not able to publish images to the docker hub. We supply the dockerfile so you are able to build it yourself using docker build https://github.com/sassoftware/viya4-deployment/blob/main/docs/user/DockerUsage.md#docker-image

Hum, can you give more information on the legal/support reasons? I was feeling it to just be a docker image with pre-installed requirements and nothing more.

I'm intersted because as I do publish the images for my own usage, you've just worried me...
