Developing With Docker

Development With Docker

The good news is that this project includes a prebuilt container with all dependencies pre-installed that can be used for development or continuous integration.

The following docker images will help when developing SCF or with developing with SCF. Their Dockerfiles are currently hosted in a GitLab Group and have minimal CI. I plan to move them to GitHub at some point

• suilteam/base This image can be used in CI environments to build SCF project. The image includes all the libraries and tools needed to build the project. Projects depending on SCF can have their docker images depend on this image. The image is hosted at Dockerfile Repo. The image has the following tags;

  • suilteam/base:ubuntu for developing on Ubuntu
  • suilteam/base:alpine for developing on Alpine

• suilteam/remote:ubuntu This image extends the suilteam/base:ubuntu image by adding openssh server. The idea here is that this can actually be used for remote development and we can install anything we might need to make development easier. This is the image I currently use when developing on Mac OS with CLion IDE or VS Code Remote-Containers environment

This project is setup up with Visual Studio Code Remote Development. If one has visual studio code and docker installed, they can launch the remote development environment in seconds and start developing and building. The environment will launch 3 containers

• Redis and PostgreSQL container
• A devel container which is the container we are actually developing on. The container features the following defaults;
  • built on top of suilteam/remote:ubuntu
  • zsh and oh-my-zsh installed and set as default shell
  • Memory limit of 16g
  • Exposes ports 8000-8099
