ALICE Docker images

• OS-builder: the OS images used e.g. in CI, when building for the given OS (e.g. slc7 for CentOS 7)
• mesos-base: basic mesos installation.
• mesos-slave: a self contained Mesos Slave instance
• mesos-master: a self contained Mesos Master instance
• elasticsearch: a customized elasticsearch instance with HEAD and Marvel plugins installed.

Building images with packer

Newer images have a packer.json file, which allows them to be built using Hashicorp packer. This has the nice advantage that we can customize and upload the images in one go. To build them:

brew install packer # > 0.10.0
cd <image-name>
packer build packer.json

If you don't want to upload the finished image to DockerHub (e.g. if you're just testing changes to the image, or you don't have the rights to upload), remove the "docker-push" entry from "post-processors" in the packer.json you're using. (JSON doesn't allow trailing commas in arrays, so don't forget to remove the comma as well!)

Building with docker

Older images without a packer.json can be built with:

docker build -t alisw/<image-name> <image-name>
