This is a simple image based on CBL-Mariner 2.0 that incorporates into the provided Docker image the base tools required to run a full server instead of a purpose-built container. Please note that if you want to run simple containers THIS IS NOT THE IMAGE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
To run containers based on CBL-Mariner please use Microsoft's official container base image. Ex.:
FROM cblmariner.azurecr.io/base/core:2.0
...This will give you a relatively small (~68MB) base image upon which you can build your containers.
We provide this image for three main reasons:
- If you wan't to run CBL-Mariner containers on CBL-Mariner and need a testing platform;
- So users can get used to the process of designing and running servers using CBL-Mariner, and;
- Because it's fun.
Please note that CBL-Mariner relies on a very small package repository when compared with other Enterprise Linux distributions (ex.: RHEL) so you might have to compile your own packages in which case having a WSL2 ready base image will help your test and debug process.
Nvidia drivers and Docker integration should work out of the box.
Installing this distribution is easy and straightforward:
- Create a directory where WSL will store the filesystem for this distribution:
mkdir C:\WSL\CBL-Mariner- Pull the image from Docker Hub:
docker pull alexandreteles/cblmariner:2.0- Create a container:
docker create --name cblmariner -t -i alexandreteles/cblmariner:2.0 bash - Export the container:
docker export --output="cblmariner.tar" cblmariner- Import the image into WSL:
wsl --import CBL-Mariner C:\WSL\CBL-Mariner ./cblmariner.tarWSL will create a VHDX virtual disk, import the .tar file and expand the filesystem into it (~730MB). Once the process is completed you can start the container as usual, be it directly from the WSL shell or from a Windows terminal.
