Development of Appsody as a standalone project has ended, but the core technologies of Appsody have been merged with odo to create odo 2.0! See our blog post for more details!

Appsody in Buildah

A builder for the appsody/appsody-buildah Docker image, which is the quay.io/buildah/stable image with the Appsody CLI added to it. The image can be used within a build pipeline - such as a Tekton pipeline - to perform actions using the Appsody CLI.

At present, the image is equipped with a script (extract.sh) that runs the appsody extract command, after mounting the appropriate project source directory. The script assumes that the image is running within a container in a Tekton pipeline.

Building the image

This repo includes a .travis.yml file that builds and pushes the image to Docker Hub. However, if you prefer building the image manually, issue the following command:

docker build -t appsody-buildah -f Dockerfile .

Using the image

An example of usage is provided by the Appsody Tekton pipeline example. Check out the Appsody build task manifest.

In that context, the image runs the appsody extract command to retrieve the entire project tree from the Appsody stack image and the application source tree hosted on GitHub.

This image could be modified to run additional appsody commands if necessary.

Running the image locally in interactive mode

If you prefer to run the image manually in interactive mode, issue the following command:

docker run -it --privileged -v containers:/var/lib/containers <image-id> bash

This can be useful when testing the appsody cli with buildah, by running appsody commands with the --buildah flag inside the running container.
