docker-base

This project is no longer actively maintained.

Back in 2017, few open source project provide docker image, etc and our jobs had a real nice goal. Now (2023), all open source community is mature, provides tools and images more than we needs. Thanks to all members for their time and effort.

This project define our base image which rely on debian:jessie

Name: airdock/base

Tags:

• latest, jessie: based on debian jessie

Features

Common Features

• Add gosu Jessie or su-exec Alpine
• add tini
• Add utility to create new container user with specific uid:gid (script '/root/create-user'). Note that since few year, se commonly use user 1000:1000 inside container.
• Following FHS standard.
• Add utility to clean up image during docker build (script '/root/post-install')
• Define standard application user (with gosu/su-exec, you have all to run docker container with a user other than root)
• Define LANG to en_US.UTF-8

Debian Jessie

Under 'jessie' folder you could retreive:

• Add curl (often used ...)
• Apply security update if necessary
• Fix some common docker build issue with apt-get
• Define a root bash friendly for debug use

Usage

You should have already install Docker.

Execute: 'docker run -t -i airdock/base:latest'

Reading

We recommend to you spending time to read few documentation on wiki:

• Docker Common Project Tree and build
• About user in Container if you do something with docker volume (and you will do...)

And little more, if you want to create your own docker images:

• Debian:jessy source
• Official Repositories
• Docker Best practices
• From Michael Crosby:
  • Best practices part I
  • Best practices part II
