The Packer Docker import post-processor takes an artifact from the docker
|
|
builder and imports it with Docker locally. This allows you to apply a
|
|
repository and tag to the image and lets you use the other Docker
|
|
post-processors such as docker-push to push the image to a registry.

# Docker Import Post-Processor
|
|
|
|
Type: `docker-import`
|
|
|
|
The Packer Docker import post-processor takes an artifact from the [docker
|
|
builder](/docs/builders/docker.html) and imports it with Docker locally. This
|
|
allows you to apply a repository and tag to the image and lets you use the
|
|
other Docker post-processors such as
|
|
[docker-push](/docs/post-processors/docker-push.html) to push the image to a
|
|
registry.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The configuration for this post-processor only requires a `repository`, a `tag`
|
|
is optional.
|
|
|
|
### Required:
|
|
|
|
- `repository` (string) - The repository of the imported image.
|
|
|
|
### Optional:
|
|
|
|
- `tag` (string) - The tag for the imported image. By default this is not
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
- `changes` (array of strings) - Dockerfile instructions to add to the
|
|
commit. Example of instructions are `CMD`, `ENTRYPOINT`, `ENV`, and
|
|
`EXPOSE`. Example: `[ "USER ubuntu", "WORKDIR /app", "EXPOSE 8080" ]`
|
|
|
|
- `keep_input_artifact` (boolean) - if true, do not delete the source tar
|
|
after importing it to docker. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
An example is shown below, showing only the post-processor configuration:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "docker-import",
|
|
"repository": "hashicorp/packer",
|
|
"tag": "0.7"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This example would take the image created by the Docker builder and import it
|
|
into the local Docker process with a name of `hashicorp/packer:0.7`.
|
|
|
|
Following this, you can use the
|
|
[docker-push](/docs/post-processors/docker-push.html) post-processor to push it
|
|
to a registry, if you want.
|
|
|
|
## Changing Metadata
|
|
|
|
Below is an example using the changes argument of the post-processor. This
|
|
feature allows the tarball metadata to be changed when imported into the Docker
|
|
environment. It is derived from the `docker import --change` command line
|
|
[option to
|
|
Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/import/).
|
|
|
|
Example uses of all of the options, assuming one is building an NGINX image
|
|
from ubuntu as an simple example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "docker-import",
|
|
"repository": "local/centos6",
|
|
"tag": "latest",
|
|
"changes": [
|
|
"USER www-data",
|
|
"WORKDIR /var/www",
|
|
"ENV HOSTNAME www.example.com",
|
|
"VOLUME /test1 /test2",
|
|
"EXPOSE 80 443",
|
|
"LABEL version=1.0",
|
|
"ONBUILD RUN date",
|
|
"CMD [\"nginx\", \"-g\", \"daemon off;\"]",
|
|
"ENTRYPOINT /var/www/start.sh"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
