Docker
======
The `Docker `__ provider creates a docker image
from scratch, creates a Dockerfile for it and imports the image to a repo
specified in the manifest.
In order to reduce the size of the image, it is highly recommend
to make use of the `minimize_size <../../plugins/minimize_size>`__ plugin.
With optimal settings a 64-bit jessie image can be whittled down to 81.95 MB
(built on Dec 13th 2015 with ``manifests/examples/docker/jessie-minimized.yml``).
Manifest settings
-----------------
Name
~~~~
- ``name``: The image name is the repository and tag to where an
image should be imported.
``required``
``manifest vars``
Provider
~~~~~~~~
- ``dockerfile``: Inline dockerfile that should be appended to
the one created by the bootstrapper.
``optional``
- ``labels``: Labels that should be added to the dockerfile.
The image name specified at the top of the manifest
will be added as the label ``name``.
Check out the `docker docs `__
for more information about custom labels.
`Project atomic `__
also has some `useful recommendations `__
for generic container labels.
