Create Docker Images

Last updated: 2024-10-22 16:05:05

    The Methods for Creating Container Images

    There are two main methods for creating a container image:
    1. Get the image through a snapshot.
    2. Build the image using Dockerfile.
    The first method is applicable when subsequent images do not change, and the second one is applicable when subsequent images change frequently.

    Method 1: Obtain the image through a snapshot

    1. Install the container engine software.
    2. Start a blank basic container and enter it.
    docker run -it centos
    3. Perform the installation tasks:
    yum install XXX
    git clone https://github.com/lh3/bwa.git
    cd bwa;make
    4. Exit the container:
    exit
    5. Make a snapshot:
    docker commit -m "xx" -a "test" container-id test/image:tag
    6. View the created container image:
    docker images

    Method 2: Build the image using Dockerfile

    Method 2 is applicable to situations where subsequent images are frequently changed. It automates the creation of images by executing the Dockerfile.
    For example:
    FROM ubuntu:latest
    
    SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-c"]
    
    RUN set -e \\
    && apt-get -y update \\
    && apt-get -y dist-upgrade \\
    && apt-get -y install curl build-essential libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \\
    && apt-get -y autoremove \\
    && apt-get clean \\
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
    # samtools
    
    RUN set -eo pipefail \\
    && curl -SL \\
    https://github.com/samtools/samtools/releases/download/1.15/samtools-1.15.tar.bz2 \\
    -o /tmp/samtools.tar.bz2 \\
    && tar xvf /tmp/samtools.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local/src \\
    && mv /usr/local/src/samtools-* /usr/local/src/samtools \\
    && cd /usr/local/src/samtools \\
    && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \\
    && make \\
    && make install
