Build containers from terminal
This section shows how to build containers manually from dockerfiles present in your Intel® Developer Cloud for the Edge filesystem inside the JupyterLab interface. Containers built in your JupyterLab terminal session can then be pushed to your private registry associated with your Intel® Developer Cloud for the Edge Container Playground account to test on various Intel Platforms.
NOTE:
See Import Code and Build Containers to import source code already hosted in a git repository with just a few clicks using the web user interface.
Navigate to CLI
Use the top navigation menu to access the Coding Environment to open the JupyterLab interface in a new browser tab. Use the + button from the JupyterLab file browser to open a Terminal from the Launcher.
If you not able to access the JupyterLab interface, make sure to Allow Pop-ups in your browser.
Build a Container
Use the JupyterLab terminal to build the container with buildah:
buildah bud --format docker -f DOCKERFILE_NAME.Dockerfile -t CONTAINER_NAME:CONTAINER_TAG .
The list of containers built from the JupyterLab interface can be viewed with the buildah images command. You can also run buildah bud --format docker -t CONTAINER_NAME:CONTAINER_TAG . inside the directory containing the file .Dockerfile.
NOTE:
You cannot run the built container inside the Jupyterlab interface. See the next section to first push the container to your Intel® Developer Cloud for the Edge private container registry as a resource and Test Containers.
Push to Private Registry
You must retag your container to begin with the private registry URL associated with your Intel® Developer Cloud for the Edge account. Use the environment variable $REGISTRY_URL to rename your container.
buildah tag CONTAINER_NAME:CONTAINER_TAG $REGISTRY_URL/CONTAINER_NAME:CONTAINER_TAG
To run and test the containers built in the JupyterLab interface inside a project in the container playground portal push your retagged container with the below command.
buildah push $REGISTRY_URL/CONTAINER_NAME:CONTAINER_TAG
See Configure imported containers and Select Hardware and Launch Containers to launch.
Customize a Sample Application
Your Intel® Developer Cloud for the Edge storage filesystem includes the latest source code for the sample applications hosted on Intel® Developer Cloud for the Edge Marketplace. Each sample includes detailed instructions on:
How it Works?
Supported Runtime Configurations
Build and Run commands on Intel® Developer Cloud for the Edge Container Playground and your local system
The View/Edit Code option from the Marketplace opens up the readme for each sample in the JupyterLab environment. You can also visit the public repository:
Sample Readme residing in the directory for each sample application
NOTE:
Try building a simple container with below example:
Create and navigate inside a working directory: mkdir cli-example && cd cli-example
Write a dockerfile for a lightweight container that prints numbers: (echo FROM python:slim && echo 'ENTRYPOINT [ "seq", "30"]') > Dockerfile
Build the container while including private registry url: buildah bud --format docker -t $REGISTRY_URL/cli-example:latest
Push the container to assign a project and launch: buildah push $REGISTRY_URL/cli-example:latest
