Container collections

A collection of containers to build more specialised containers.

Why Container collections? All containers in this repository are generic containers, i.e. they provide a consistent starting point to build more specialized containers for all kinds of applications. This collection follows the idea of a Software Collection, as implemented in the Software Collections repository. The sclorg/welcome page provides a detailled overview of the concept.

Repository Overview

• base-container: Basic container image based on Red Hat's Universal Base Images.
• base-golang: Golang s2i image to build and run microservices.

Base Images

• Red Hat Universal Base Image 8
• s2i base

The source code for most of the base- and s2i images can be found in the Software Collections repo.

Build locally

To build the container images locally, make sure you have Podman installed and running.

Start the build with:

make build-all

Build on OpenShift

To build the container images on Red Hat OpenShift, make sure that the OpenShift command line utility oc is installed and that you are logged into the OpenShift cluster.

Start the build with:

make build-all-openshift

This creates a dedicated project/namespace to run the builds in and deploys the build configurations into the namespace. The image streams are created in the openshift namespace.

To verify that the builds are running:

oc get builds -n $BUILD_NAMESPACE
