Build Docker Image

Last Updated: February 2023

With the Dockerfile and Salt State scripts complete, the custom Docker image can now be built. Change back into the tethys_portal_docker directory if necessary and run the command:

docker build -t tethys-portal-docker .

Note

The -t option is used name or tag the docker image. The name can have two parts, separated by a :: <name>:<tag>. If a <tag> isn't given, it defaults to latest.

Run the following command to verify that the image was created:

docker images

You should see an image with a repository "tethys-portal-docker" and tag "latest" in the list of images similar to this:

REPOSITORY             TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED          SIZE
tethys-portal-docker   latest    426b6a6f36c5   1 minute ago   2.31GB

Solution

A working build of the tethys-portal-docker image is available on Docker Hub here: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tethysplatform/tethys-portal-docker.
