Build a Docker Image

Using the Image Build Script (image.sh)

This is the improved version of our incremental build script. It allows you to easily do full and incremental builds without having to push your work to your remote fork at github.com. It is advised that you utilize this script in your workflow for building quick docker images of the platform. This implementation of our image builds also generates builds using a similar method as on github actions. It will be a much smaller image (ex. ~ 2GB ) in comparison to images generated with incr.sh.

Invoke the Script

# from the local HPCC-Platform repos base directory
./dockerfiles/image.sh build

This will generate a docker image in your docker environment.

Example: hpccsystems/platform-core:9.10.x-debug-commit-hash

To view images on your local machine, run docker images.
