Container Image Template

This is a template of a git repository which is a source for building container images.

It uses distgen to render the Dockerfile template for specific base image/software version/etc.

Description

• Dockerfile - template of Dockerfile
• help/ - a directory containing help.md file. This serves as a base for container help page. Similarly to Dockerfile, it's also templated and rendered prior to image build.
• LICENSE — pick the right license
• Makefile — so it's easy to build, run, test
• README.md — global documentation for the whole service
• what is it, how to build, how to use
• script.sh - an example script that gets put inside built image
• specs/ - a directory with configuration fils for distgen
• tests/ — these tests should verify that the image works

Usage

• make [DISTRO=<distgen-distro>] [VERSION=<version>] doc - build docs (help file and a generated manpage) for a certain distro and software version
• make [DISTRO=<distgen-distro>] [VERSION=<version>] build - build image for a certain distro and software version
• make [DISTRO=<distgen-distro>] [VERSION=<version>] run - build and run container with a certain distro and software version
• make [DISTRO=<distgen-distro>] [VERSION=<version>]test - build and test a container with certain distro and software version

Note: default distro is fedora-26-x86_64 and default version is 2.2
