Docker containers

Qserv is also available as a Docker image (see https://www.docker.com/).

Note

Our continuous integration service https://travis-ci.org/lsst/qserv produces automatically docker containers for each commit pushed to Github. Containers names are displayed on top of travis console.

Note

This procedure was tested with Docker 1.13.

Build Qserv image from a Github branch

Create Qserv latest release image, with 3 names:

qserv:latest
qserv:dev
qserv:YYY_MM

. /path/to/lsst/stack/loadLSST.bash
cd ${SRC_DIR}/qserv/admin/tools/docker
1_build-image.sh -C

Create Qserv cutting-edge dependencies image, named qserv:dev:

# cutting-edge dependencies needs to be tagged eups-dev
# on distribution server.
cd ${SRC_DIR}/qserv/admin/tools/docker
1_build-image.sh -CD

Create Qserv image for a given git tag/branch:

In order to push produced Docker images to Docker Hub, prefix <docker-image-name> with qserv/qserv: in instructions below.

# Code need to be pushed on github
cd ${SRC_DIR}/qserv/admin/tools/docker
2_build-git-image.sh -R <git-tag/branch> -T <docker-image-name>
# Current Qserv version will have eups tag named qserv-dev

Create Qserv master and worker images from a given Qserv version:

# Code need to be pushed on github
# eups tag named qserv-dev will be used to setup Qserv version
cd ${SRC_DIR}/qserv/admin/tools/docker
4_build-configured-image.sh -i <docker-image-name>

Use cases

Test latest release

Run mono-node integration test against latest Qserv release:

docker run -it --rm \
-h $(hostname)-docker -u qserv \
fjammes/qserv:latest \
/qserv/scripts/mono-node-test.sh

Develop and test

Create Qserv image for a developer workstation:

cd ${SRC_DIR}/qserv/admin/tools/docker
build-work-image.sh
# change uid in image so that it match host user id
# in order to mount rw user source code in container
change-uid.sh

Set uid in qserv:dev w.r.t your host machine user account. This creates a qserv:dev-uid image which can mount host source code in a container with correct permissions. Host might be a development machine or a continuous integration server.

./change-uid.sh

Build, configure and run Qserv from source in qserv:work-uid container using source and run directory located on a development machine.

docker run -it --rm \
-h $(hostname)-docker \
-v /home/qserv/src/qserv:/home/dev/src/qserv \
-v /home/qserv/qserv-run/:/home/dev/qserv-run \
-u dev \
fjammes/qserv:work-uid \
/bin/sh -c "/home/dev/scripts/build.sh && /qserv/scripts/mono-node-test.sh"
