Helm | - 0 views

  • A chart is a collection of files that describe a related set of Kubernetes resources.
  • A single chart might be used to deploy something simple, like a memcached pod, or something complex, like a full web app stack with HTTP servers, databases, caches, and so on.
  • Charts are created as files laid out in a particular directory tree, then they can be packaged into versioned archives to be deployed.
  • ...170 more annotations...
  • A chart is organized as a collection of files inside of a directory.
  • values.yaml # The default configuration values for this chart
  • charts/ # A directory containing any charts upon which this chart depends.
  • templates/ # A directory of templates that, when combined with values, # will generate valid Kubernetes manifest files.
  • version: A SemVer 2 version (required)
  • apiVersion: The chart API version, always "v1" (required)
  • Every chart must have a version number. A version must follow the SemVer 2 standard.
  • non-SemVer names are explicitly disallowed by the system.
  • When generating a package, the helm package command will use the version that it finds in the Chart.yaml as a token in the package name.
  • the appVersion field is not related to the version field. It is a way of specifying the version of the application.
  • appVersion: The version of the app that this contains (optional). This needn't be SemVer.
  • If the latest version of a chart in the repository is marked as deprecated, then the chart as a whole is considered to be deprecated.
  • deprecated: Whether this chart is deprecated (optional, boolean)
  • one chart may depend on any number of other charts.
  • dependencies can be dynamically linked through the requirements.yaml file or brought in to the charts/ directory and managed manually.
  • the preferred method of declaring dependencies is by using a requirements.yaml file inside of your chart.
  • A requirements.yaml file is a simple file for listing your dependencies.
  • The repository field is the full URL to the chart repository.
  • you must also use helm repo add to add that repo locally.
  • helm dependency update and it will use your dependency file to download all the specified charts into your charts/ directory for you.
  • When helm dependency update retrieves charts, it will store them as chart archives in the charts/ directory.
  • Managing charts with requirements.yaml is a good way to easily keep charts updated, and also share requirements information throughout a team.
  • All charts are loaded by default.
  • The condition field holds one or more YAML paths (delimited by commas). If this path exists in the top parent’s values and resolves to a boolean value, the chart will be enabled or disabled based on that boolean value.
  • The tags field is a YAML list of labels to associate with this chart.
  • all charts with tags can be enabled or disabled by specifying the tag and a boolean value.
  • The --set parameter can be used as usual to alter tag and condition values.
  • Conditions (when set in values) always override tags.
  • The first condition path that exists wins and subsequent ones for that chart are ignored.
  • The keys containing the values to be imported can be specified in the parent chart’s requirements.yaml file using a YAML list. Each item in the list is a key which is imported from the child chart’s exports field.
  • specifying the key data in our import list, Helm looks in the exports field of the child chart for data key and imports its contents.
  • the parent key data is not contained in the parent’s final values. If you need to specify the parent key, use the ‘child-parent’ format.
  • To access values that are not contained in the exports key of the child chart’s values, you will need to specify the source key of the values to be imported (child) and the destination path in the parent chart’s values (parent).
  • To drop a dependency into your charts/ directory, use the helm fetch command
  • A dependency can be either a chart archive (foo-1.2.3.tgz) or an unpacked chart directory.
  • name cannot start with _ or .. Such files are ignored by the chart loader.
  • a single release is created with all the objects for the chart and its dependencies.
  • Helm Chart templates are written in the Go template language, with the addition of 50 or so add-on template functions from the Sprig library and a few other specialized functions
  • When Helm renders the charts, it will pass every file in that directory through the template engine.
  • Chart developers may supply a file called values.yaml inside of a chart. This file can contain default values.
  • Chart users may supply a YAML file that contains values. This can be provided on the command line with helm install.
  • When a user supplies custom values, these values will override the values in the chart’s values.yaml file.
  • Template files follow the standard conventions for writing Go templates
  • {{default "minio" .Values.storage}}
  • Values that are supplied via a values.yaml file (or via the --set flag) are accessible from the .Values object in a template.
  • pre-defined, are available to every template, and cannot be overridden
  • the names are case sensitive
  • Release.Name: The name of the release (not the chart)
  • Release.IsUpgrade: This is set to true if the current operation is an upgrade or rollback.
  • Release.Revision: The revision number. It begins at 1, and increments with each helm upgrade
  • Chart: The contents of the Chart.yaml
  • Files: A map-like object containing all non-special files in the chart.
  • Files can be accessed using {{index .Files "file.name"}} or using the {{.Files.Get name}} or {{.Files.GetString name}} functions.
  • .helmignore
  • access the contents of the file as []byte using {{.Files.GetBytes}}
  • Any unknown Chart.yaml fields will be dropped
  • Chart.yaml cannot be used to pass arbitrarily structured data into the template.
  • A values file is formatted in YAML.
  • A chart may include a default values.yaml file
  • be merged into the default values file.
  • The default values file included inside of a chart must be named values.yaml
  • accessible inside of templates using the .Values object
  • Values files can declare values for the top-level chart, as well as for any of the charts that are included in that chart’s charts/ directory.
  • Charts at a higher level have access to all of the variables defined beneath.
  • lower level charts cannot access things in parent charts
  • Values are namespaced, but namespaces are pruned.
  • the scope of the values has been reduced and the namespace prefix removed
  • Helm supports special “global” value.
  • a way of sharing one top-level variable with all subcharts, which is useful for things like setting metadata properties like labels.
  • If a subchart declares a global variable, that global will be passed downward (to the subchart’s subcharts), but not upward to the parent chart.
  • global variables of parent charts take precedence over the global variables from subcharts.
  • helm lint
  • A chart repository is an HTTP server that houses one or more packaged charts
  • Any HTTP server that can serve YAML files and tar files and can answer GET requests can be used as a repository server.
  • Helm does not provide tools for uploading charts to remote repository servers.
  • the only way to add a chart to $HELM_HOME/starters is to manually copy it there.
  • Helm provides a hook mechanism to allow chart developers to intervene at certain points in a release’s life cycle.
  • Execute a Job to back up a database before installing a new chart, and then execute a second job after the upgrade in order to restore data.
  • Hooks are declared as an annotation in the metadata section of a manifest
  • Hooks work like regular templates, but they have special annotations
  • pre-install
  • post-install: Executes after all resources are loaded into Kubernetes
  • pre-delete
  • post-delete: Executes on a deletion request after all of the release’s resources have been deleted.
  • pre-upgrade
  • post-upgrade
  • pre-rollback
  • post-rollback: Executes on a rollback request after all resources have been modified.
  • crd-install
  • test-success: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to return successfully (return code == 0).
  • test-failure: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to fail (return code != 0).
  • Hooks allow you, the chart developer, an opportunity to perform operations at strategic points in a release lifecycle
  • Tiller then loads the hook with the lowest weight first (negative to positive)
  • Tiller returns the release name (and other data) to the client
  • If the resources is a Job kind, Tiller will wait until the job successfully runs to completion.
  • if the job fails, the release will fail. This is a blocking operation, so the Helm client will pause while the Job is run.
  • If they have hook weights (see below), they are executed in weighted order. Otherwise, ordering is not guaranteed.
  • good practice to add a hook weight, and set it to 0 if weight is not important.
  • The resources that a hook creates are not tracked or managed as part of the release.
  • leave the hook resource alone.
  • To destroy such resources, you need to either write code to perform this operation in a pre-delete or post-delete hook or add "helm.sh/hook-delete-policy" annotation to the hook template file.
  • Hooks are just Kubernetes manifest files with special annotations in the metadata section
  • One resource can implement multiple hooks
  • no limit to the number of different resources that may implement a given hook.
  • When subcharts declare hooks, those are also evaluated. There is no way for a top-level chart to disable the hooks declared by subcharts.
  • Hook weights can be positive or negative numbers but must be represented as strings.
  • sort those hooks in ascending order.
  • Hook deletion policies
  • "before-hook-creation" specifies Tiller should delete the previous hook before the new hook is launched.
  • By default Tiller will wait for 60 seconds for a deleted hook to no longer exist in the API server before timing out.
  • Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are a special kind in Kubernetes.
  • The crd-install hook is executed very early during an installation, before the rest of the manifests are verified.
  • A common reason why the hook resource might already exist is that it was not deleted following use on a previous install/upgrade.
  • Helm uses Go templates for templating your resource files.
  • two special template functions: include and required
  • include function allows you to bring in another template, and then pass the results to other template functions.
  • The required function allows you to declare a particular values entry as required for template rendering.
  • If the value is empty, the template rendering will fail with a user submitted error message.
  • When you are working with string data, you are always safer quoting the strings than leaving them as bare words
  • Quote Strings, Don’t Quote Integers
  • when working with integers do not quote the values
  • env variables values which are expected to be string
  • to include a template, and then perform an operation on that template’s output, Helm has a special include function
  • The above includes a template called toYaml, passes it $value, and then passes the output of that template to the nindent function.
  • Go provides a way for setting template options to control behavior when a map is indexed with a key that’s not present in the map
  • The required function gives developers the ability to declare a value entry as required for template rendering.
  • The tpl function allows developers to evaluate strings as templates inside a template.
  • Rendering a external configuration file
  • (.Files.Get "conf/app.conf")
  • Image pull secrets are essentially a combination of registry, username, and password.
  • Automatically Roll Deployments When ConfigMaps or Secrets change
  • configmaps or secrets are injected as configuration files in containers
  • a restart may be required should those be updated with a subsequent helm upgrade
  • The sha256sum function can be used to ensure a deployment’s annotation section is updated if another file changes
  • checksum/config: {{ include (print $.Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") . | sha256sum }}
  • helm upgrade --recreate-pods
  • "helm.sh/resource-policy": keep
  • resources that should not be deleted when Helm runs a helm delete
  • this resource becomes orphaned. Helm will no longer manage it in any way.
  • create some reusable parts in your chart
  • In the templates/ directory, any file that begins with an underscore(_) is not expected to output a Kubernetes manifest file.
  • by convention, helper templates and partials are placed in a _helpers.tpl file.
  • The current best practice for composing a complex application from discrete parts is to create a top-level umbrella chart that exposes the global configurations, and then use the charts/ subdirectory to embed each of the components.
  • SAP’s Converged charts: These charts install SAP Converged Cloud a full OpenStack IaaS on Kubernetes. All of the charts are collected together in one GitHub repository, except for a few submodules.
  • Deis’s Workflow: This chart exposes the entire Deis PaaS system with one chart. But it’s different from the SAP chart in that this umbrella chart is built from each component, and each component is tracked in a different Git repository.
  • YAML is a superset of JSON
  • any valid JSON structure ought to be valid in YAML.
  • As a best practice, templates should follow a YAML-like syntax unless the JSON syntax substantially reduces the risk of a formatting issue.
  • There are functions in Helm that allow you to generate random data, cryptographic keys, and so on.
  • a chart repository is a location where packaged charts can be stored and shared.
  • A chart repository is an HTTP server that houses an index.yaml file and optionally some packaged charts.
  • Because a chart repository can be any HTTP server that can serve YAML and tar files and can answer GET requests, you have a plethora of options when it comes down to hosting your own chart repository.
  • It is not required that a chart package be located on the same server as the index.yaml file.
  • A valid chart repository must have an index file. The index file contains information about each chart in the chart repository.
  • The Helm project provides an open-source Helm repository server called ChartMuseum that you can host yourself.
  • $ helm repo index fantastic-charts --url https://fantastic-charts.storage.googleapis.com
  • A repository will not be added if it does not contain a valid index.yaml
  • add the repository to their helm client via the helm repo add [NAME] [URL] command with any name they would like to use to reference the repository.
  • Helm has provenance tools which help chart users verify the integrity and origin of a package.
  • Integrity is established by comparing a chart to a provenance record
  • The provenance file contains a chart’s YAML file plus several pieces of verification information
  • Chart repositories serve as a centralized collection of Helm charts.
  • Chart repositories must make it possible to serve provenance files over HTTP via a specific request, and must make them available at the same URI path as the chart.
  • We don’t want to be “the certificate authority” for all chart signers. Instead, we strongly favor a decentralized model, which is part of the reason we chose OpenPGP as our foundational technology.
  • The Keybase platform provides a public centralized repository for trust information.
  • A chart contains a number of Kubernetes resources and components that work together.
  • A test in a helm chart lives under the templates/ directory and is a pod definition that specifies a container with a given command to run.
  • The pod definition must contain one of the helm test hook annotations: helm.sh/hook: test-success or helm.sh/hook: test-failure
  • helm test
  • nest your test suite under a tests/ directory like <chart-name>/templates/tests/

mvn clean install - a short guide to Maven - 0 views

  • An equivalent in other languages would be Javascript’s npm, Ruby’s gems or PHP’s composer.
  • Maven expects a certain directory structure for your Java source code to live in and when you later do a mvn clean install , the whole compilation and packaging work will be done for you.
  • any directory that contains a pom.xml file is also a valid Maven project.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • A pom.xml file contains everything needed to describe your Java project.
  • Java source code is to be meant to live in the "/src/main/java" folder
  • Maven will put compiled Java classes into the "target/classes" folder
  • Maven will also build a .jar or .war file, depending on your project, that lives in the "target" folder.
  • Maven has the concept of a build lifecycle, which is made up of different phases.
  • clean is not part of Maven’s default lifecycle, you end up with commands like mvn clean install or mvn clean package. Install or package will trigger all preceding phases, but you need to specify clean in addition.
  • Maven will always download your project dependencies into your local maven repository first and then reference them for your build.
  • local repositories (in your user’s home directory: ~/.m2/)
  • clean: deletes the /target folder.
  • mvn clean package
  • mvn clean install
  • package: Converts your .java source code into a .jar/.war file and puts it into the /target folder.
  • install: First, it does a package(!). Then it takes that .jar/.war file and puts it into your local Maven repository, which lives in ~/.m2/repository.
  • calling 'mvn install' would be enough if Maven was smart enough to do reliable, incremental builds.
  • figuring out what Java source files/modules changed and only compile those.
  • developers got it ingrained to always call 'mvn clean install' (even though this increases build time a lot in bigger projects).
  • make sure that Maven always tries to download the latest snapshot dependency versions

Pre-Built CircleCI Docker Images - CircleCI - 0 views

  • typically extensions of official Docker images and include tools especially useful for CI/CD.
  • Convenience images are based on the most recently built versions of upstream images, so it is best practice to use the most specific image possible.
  • add -jessie or -stretch to the end of each of those containers to ensure you’re only using that version of the Debian base OS.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • language images
  • service images
  • All images add a circleci user as a system user
  • A language image should be listed first under the docker key in your configuration, making it the primary container during execution.
  • For example, if you want to add browsers to the circleci/golang:1.9 image, use the circleci/golang:1.9-browsers image.
  • Service images are convenience images for services like databases
  • should be listed after language images so they become secondary service containers.
  • To speed up builds using RAM volume, add the -ram suffix to the end of a service image tag
  • All convenience images have been extended with additional tools.
  • all images include the following packages, installed via apt-get
  • Most CircleCI convenience images are Debian Jessie- or Stretch-based images, however some extend Ubuntu-based images.
  • The following packages are installed via curl

  • The Helm client (helm)
  • brew install kubernetes-helm
  • Tiller, the server portion of Helm, typically runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster.
  • it can also be run locally, and configured to talk to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • Role-Based Access Control - RBAC for short
  • create a service account for Tiller with the right roles and permissions to access resources.
  • run Tiller in an RBAC-enabled Kubernetes cluster.
  • run kubectl get pods --namespace kube-system and see Tiller running.
  • helm inspect
  • Helm will look for Tiller in the kube-system namespace unless --tiller-namespace or TILLER_NAMESPACE is set.
  • For development, it is sometimes easier to work on Tiller locally, and configure it to connect to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • even when running locally, Tiller will store release configuration in ConfigMaps inside of Kubernetes.
  • helm version should show you both the client and server version.
  • Tiller stores its data in Kubernetes ConfigMaps, you can safely delete and re-install Tiller without worrying about losing any data.
  • helm reset
  • The --node-selectors flag allows us to specify the node labels required for scheduling the Tiller pod.
  • --override allows you to specify properties of Tiller’s deployment manifest.
  • helm init --override manipulates the specified properties of the final manifest (there is no “values” file).
  • The --output flag allows us skip the installation of Tiller’s deployment manifest and simply output the deployment manifest to stdout in either JSON or YAML format.
  • By default, tiller stores release information in ConfigMaps in the namespace where it is running.
  • switch from the default backend to the secrets backend, you’ll have to do the migration for this on your own.
  • a beta SQL storage backend that stores release information in an SQL database (only postgres has been tested so far).
  • Once you have the Helm Client and Tiller successfully installed, you can move on to using Helm to manage charts.
  • Helm requires that kubelet have access to a copy of the socat program to proxy connections to the Tiller API.
  • A Release is an instance of a chart running in a Kubernetes cluster. One chart can often be installed many times into the same cluster.
  • helm init --client-only
  • helm init --dry-run --debug
  • A panic in Tiller is almost always the result of a failure to negotiate with the Kubernetes API server
  • Tiller and Helm have to negotiate a common version to make sure that they can safely communicate without breaking API assumptions
  • helm delete --purge
  • Helm stores some files in $HELM_HOME, which is located by default in ~/.helm
  • A Chart is a Helm package. It contains all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application, tool, or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster.
  • it like the Kubernetes equivalent of a Homebrew formula, an Apt dpkg, or a Yum RPM file.
  • A Repository is the place where charts can be collected and shared.
  • Set the $HELM_HOME environment variable
  • each time it is installed, a new release is created.
  • Helm installs charts into Kubernetes, creating a new release for each installation. And to find new charts, you can search Helm chart repositories.
  • chart repository is named stable by default
  • helm search shows you all of the available charts
  • helm inspect
  • To install a new package, use the helm install command. At its simplest, it takes only one argument: The name of the chart.
  • If you want to use your own release name, simply use the --name flag on helm install
  • additional configuration steps you can or should take.
  • Helm does not wait until all of the resources are running before it exits. Many charts require Docker images that are over 600M in size, and may take a long time to install into the cluster.
  • helm status
  • helm inspect values
  • helm inspect values stable/mariadb
  • override any of these settings in a YAML formatted file, and then pass that file during installation.
  • helm install -f config.yaml stable/mariadb
  • --values (or -f): Specify a YAML file with overrides.
  • --set (and its variants --set-string and --set-file): Specify overrides on the command line.
  • Values that have been --set can be cleared by running helm upgrade with --reset-values specified.
  • Chart designers are encouraged to consider the --set usage when designing the format of a values.yaml file.
  • --set-file key=filepath is another variant of --set. It reads the file and use its content as a value.
  • inject a multi-line text into values without dealing with indentation in YAML.
  • An unpacked chart directory
  • When a new version of a chart is released, or when you want to change the configuration of your release, you can use the helm upgrade command.
  • Kubernetes charts can be large and complex, Helm tries to perform the least invasive upgrade.
  • It will only update things that have changed since the last release
  • $ helm upgrade -f panda.yaml happy-panda stable/mariadb

  • Release names are unique PER TILLER INSTANCE
  • Charts should only contain resources that exist in a single namespace.
  • not recommended to have multiple Tillers configured to manage resources in the same namespace.
  • a client-side Helm plugin. A plugin is a tool that can be accessed through the helm CLI, but which is not part of the built-in Helm codebase.
  • Helm plugins are add-on tools that integrate seamlessly with Helm. They provide a way to extend the core feature set of Helm, but without requiring every new feature to be written in Go and added to the core tool.
  • Helm plugins live in $(helm home)/plugins
  • The Helm plugin model is partially modeled on Git’s plugin model
  • helm referred to as the porcelain layer, with plugins being the plumbing.

LXC vs Docker: Why Docker is Better | UpGuard - 0 views

  • LXC (LinuX Containers) is a OS-level virtualization technology that allows creation and running of multiple isolated Linux virtual environments (VE) on a single control host.
  • Docker, previously called dotCloud, was started as a side project and only open-sourced in 2013. It is really an extension of LXC’s capabilities.
  • run processes in isolation.
  • ...35 more annotations...
  • Docker is developed in the Go language and utilizes LXC, cgroups, and the Linux kernel itself. Since it’s based on LXC, a Docker container does not include a separate operating system; instead it relies on the operating system’s own functionality as provided by the underlying infrastructure.
  • Docker acts as a portable container engine, packaging the application and all its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux server.
  • a VE there is no preloaded emulation manager software as in a VM.
  • In a VE, the application (or OS) is spawned in a container and runs with no added overhead, except for a usually minuscule VE initialization process.
  • LXC will boast bare metal performance characteristics because it only packages the needed applications.
  • the OS is also just another application that can be packaged too.
  • a VM, which packages the entire OS and machine setup, including hard drive, virtual processors and network interfaces. The resulting bloated mass usually takes a long time to boot and consumes a lot of CPU and RAM.
  • don’t offer some other neat features of VM’s such as IaaS setups and live migration.
  • LXC as supercharged chroot on Linux. It allows you to not only isolate applications, but even the entire OS.
  • Libvirt, which allows the use of containers through the LXC driver by connecting to 'lxc:///'.
  • 'LXC', is not compatible with libvirt, but is more flexible with more userspace tools.
  • Portable deployment across machines
  • Versioning: Docker includes git-like capabilities for tracking successive versions of a container
  • Component reuse: Docker allows building or stacking of already created packages.
  • Shared libraries: There is already a public registry (http://index.docker.io/ ) where thousands have already uploaded the useful containers they have created.
  • Docker taking the devops world by storm since its launch back in 2013.
  • LXC, while older, has not been as popular with developers as Docker has proven to be
  • LXC having a focus on sys admins that’s similar to what solutions like the Solaris operating system, with its Solaris Zones, Linux OpenVZ, and FreeBSD, with its BSD Jails virtualization system
  • it started out being built on top of LXC, Docker later moved beyond LXC containers to its own execution environment called libcontainer.
  • Unlike LXC, which launches an operating system init for each container, Docker provides one OS environment, supplied by the Docker Engine
  • LXC tooling sticks close to what system administrators running bare metal servers are used to
  • The LXC command line provides essential commands that cover routine management tasks, including the creation, launch, and deletion of LXC containers.
  • Docker containers aim to be even lighter weight in order to support the fast, highly scalable, deployment of applications with microservice architecture.
  • With backing from Canonical, LXC and LXD have an ecosystem tightly bound to the rest of the open source Linux community.
  • Docker Swarm
  • Docker Trusted Registry
  • Docker Compose
  • Docker Machine
  • Kubernetes facilitates the deployment of containers in your data center by representing a cluster of servers as a single system.
  • Swarm is Docker’s clustering, scheduling and orchestration tool for managing a cluster of Docker hosts. 
  • rkt is a security minded container engine that uses KVM for VM-based isolation and packs other enhanced security features. 
  • Apache Mesos can run different kinds of distributed jobs, including containers. 
  • Elastic Container Service is Amazon’s service for running and orchestrating containerized applications on AWS
  • LXC offers the advantages of a VE on Linux, mainly the ability to isolate your own private workloads from one another. It is a cheaper and faster solution to implement than a VM, but doing so requires a bit of extra learning and expertise.
  • Docker is a significant improvement of LXC’s capabilities.

Best practices for writing Dockerfiles | Docker Documentation - 0 views

  • building efficient images
  • Docker builds images automatically by reading the instructions from a Dockerfile -- a text file that contains all commands, in order, needed to build a given image.
  • A Docker image consists of read-only layers each of which represents a Dockerfile instruction.
  • ...47 more annotations...
  • The layers are stacked and each one is a delta of the changes from the previous layer
  • When you run an image and generate a container, you add a new writable layer (the “container layer”) on top of the underlying layers.
  • By “ephemeral,” we mean that the container can be stopped and destroyed, then rebuilt and replaced with an absolute minimum set up and configuration.
  • Inadvertently including files that are not necessary for building an image results in a larger build context and larger image size.
  • To exclude files not relevant to the build (without restructuring your source repository) use a .dockerignore file. This file supports exclusion patterns similar to .gitignore files.
  • minimize image layers by leveraging build cache.
  • if your build contains several layers, you can order them from the less frequently changed (to ensure the build cache is reusable) to the more frequently changed
  • avoid installing extra or unnecessary packages just because they might be “nice to have.”
  • Each container should have only one concern.
  • Decoupling applications into multiple containers makes it easier to scale horizontally and reuse containers
  • Limiting each container to one process is a good rule of thumb, but it is not a hard and fast rule.
  • Use your best judgment to keep containers as clean and modular as possible.
  • do multi-stage builds and only copy the artifacts you need into the final image. This allows you to include tools and debug information in your intermediate build stages without increasing the size of the final image.
  • avoid duplication of packages and make the list much easier to update.
  • When building an image, Docker steps through the instructions in your Dockerfile, executing each in the order specified.
  • the next instruction is compared against all child images derived from that base image to see if one of them was built using the exact same instruction. If not, the cache is invalidated.
  • simply comparing the instruction in the Dockerfile with one of the child images is sufficient.
  • For the ADD and COPY instructions, the contents of the file(s) in the image are examined and a checksum is calculated for each file.
  • If anything has changed in the file(s), such as the contents and metadata, then the cache is invalidated.
  • cache checking does not look at the files in the container to determine a cache match.
  • In that case just the command string itself is used to find a match.
    • 張 旭
       
      RUN apt-get 這樣的指令,直接比對指令內容的意思。
  • Whenever possible, use current official repositories as the basis for your images.
  • Using RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ensures your Dockerfile installs the latest package versions with no further coding or manual intervention.
  • cache busting
  • Docker executes these commands using the /bin/sh -c interpreter, which only evaluates the exit code of the last operation in the pipe to determine success.
  • set -o pipefail && to ensure that an unexpected error prevents the build from inadvertently succeeding.
  • The CMD instruction should be used to run the software contained by your image, along with any arguments.
  • CMD should almost always be used in the form of CMD [“executable”, “param1”, “param2”…]
  • CMD should rarely be used in the manner of CMD [“param”, “param”] in conjunction with ENTRYPOINT
  • The ENV instruction is also useful for providing required environment variables specific to services you wish to containerize,
  • Each ENV line creates a new intermediate layer, just like RUN commands
  • COPY is preferred
  • COPY only supports the basic copying of local files into the container
  • the best use for ADD is local tar file auto-extraction into the image, as in ADD rootfs.tar.xz /
  • If you have multiple Dockerfile steps that use different files from your context, COPY them individually, rather than all at once.
  • using ADD to fetch packages from remote URLs is strongly discouraged; you should use curl or wget instead
  • The best use for ENTRYPOINT is to set the image’s main command, allowing that image to be run as though it was that command (and then use CMD as the default flags).
  • the image name can double as a reference to the binary as shown in the command
  • The VOLUME instruction should be used to expose any database storage area, configuration storage, or files/folders created by your docker container.
  • use VOLUME for any mutable and/or user-serviceable parts of your image
  • If you absolutely need functionality similar to sudo, such as initializing the daemon as root but running it as non-root), consider using “gosu”.
  • always use absolute paths for your WORKDIR
  • An ONBUILD command executes after the current Dockerfile build completes.
  • Think of the ONBUILD command as an instruction the parent Dockerfile gives to the child Dockerfile
  • A Docker build executes ONBUILD commands before any command in a child Dockerfile.
  • Be careful when putting ADD or COPY in ONBUILD. The “onbuild” image fails catastrophically if the new build’s context is missing the resource being added.

The problem with Docker and Alpine's package pinning | by Stefan Schindler | Medium - 0 views

  • What’s one of the biggest benefits of Docker? Clearly reproducibility: It doesn’t matter where you run your images, or when you run them: The result will always be the same.
  • For example, in Alpine 3.5, the package Node.js might be 2.0, and in Alpine 3.4 it’s 1.9. By pinning down the repository to Alpine 3.4, you will alwaysget Node.js 1.9, because Alpine 3.4 is an old version and not updated anymore.
  • Unfortunately Alpine Linux does not keep old packages.

Optimizing Gitlab pipelines - Basics (1) | PrinsFrank.nl - 0 views

  • When you use specific docker image, make sure you have the Dependency Proxy enabled so the image doesn’t have to be downloaded again for every job.
  • stages are used to group items that can run at the same time.
  • Instead of waiting for all jobs to finish, you can mark jobs as interruptible which signals a job to cancel when a new pipeline starts for the same branch
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • mark all jobs as interruptible as it doesn’t make sense to wait for builds and tests based on old information.
  • Deployment jobs are the main exception as they should probably finish.
  • only running it when specific files have changed
  • To prevent the ‘vendor’ and ‘node_modules’ folder from being regenerated in every job, we can configure a build job for composer and npm assets.
  • To share assets between multiple stages, Gitlab has caches and artifacts. For dependencies we should use caches.
  • The pull-push policy is the default, but specified here for clarity.
  • All consecutive runs for the build step with the same ‘composer.lock’ file don’t update the cache.
  • composer prevents this by caching packages in a global package cache,

  •  
    "Magit is an interface to the version control system Git, implemented as an Emacs package. Magit aspires to be a complete Git porcelain. While we cannot (yet) claim that Magit wraps and improves upon each and every Git command, it is complete enough to allow even experienced Git users to perform almost all of their daily version control tasks directly from within Emacs. While many fine Git clients exist, only Magit and Git itself deserve to be called porcelains. (more)"

Nmap: the Network Mapper - Free Security Scanner - 1 views

shared by crazylion lee on 22 Nov 15 - No Cached
  •  
    "Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping)."

Persisting Data in Workflows: When to Use Caching, Artifacts, and Workspaces - CircleCI - 0 views

  • Repeatability is also important
  • When a CI process isn’t repeatable you’ll find yourself wasting time re-running jobs to get them to go green.
  • Workspaces persist data between jobs in a single Workflow.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Caching persists data between the same job in different Workflow builds.
  • Artifacts persist data after a Workflow has finished
  • When a Workspace is declared in a job, one or more files or directories can be added. Each addition creates a new layer in the Workspace filesystem. Downstreams jobs can then use this Workspace for its own needs or add more layers on top.
  • Unlike caching, Workspaces are not shared between runs as they no longer exists once a Workflow is complete.
  • Caching lets you reuse the data from expensive fetch operations from previous jobs.
  • A prime example is package dependency managers such as Yarn, Bundler, or Pip.
  • Caches are global within a project, a cache saved on one branch will be used by others so they should only be used for data that is OK to share across Branches
  • Artifacts are used for longer-term storage of the outputs of your build process.
  • If your project needs to be packaged in some form or fashion, say an Android app where the .apk file is uploaded to Google Play, that’s a great example of an artifact.
  •
