Development Environments for OpenCA Software
When you need to develop against OpenCA software, you might need to have a development environment built that is consistent and can be deployed easily.
We have started this new repository that can be used to develop, compile, and test the projects. This repo allows you to build Docker images based on different base OS (e.g., Centos7)
To build a new image, you can use the bin/docker-gen-image.sh script that accepts the image type (supported is 'centos7') use the foollowing command:
$ scripts/docker-gen-image.sh [ y | n ] [no-cache]
where the type is 'ubuntu22-base' (uses the Docker/Dockerfile.ubuntu22-base.yml) and the second argument is for pushing (y/n) the image to the repo after creation. The last argument 'no-cache' is used to generate the image from scratch (no cache).
To simplify the management of multiple DEV containers running at the same time, we added the dev.sh script (you can find it in the bin/ directory). This script accepts one argument for the name of the container and uses a variable for the image to use for the container. The current directory is bound to the work directory in the image /workdir.
Example:
$ ./dev.sh my_projectThis starts a new image named my_project-dev. The default is to connect all dev containers in the same docker network (devnet). Adjust the script's variables to use different settings.
Enjoy OpenCA Software and Open Source!
