Build Status

container-feeder

This is a simple program that looks for all the Docker images shipped by RPMs, finds the ones that are not available to the Docker daemon running on the local machine and imports the missing ones.

This is a temporary solution needed until SUSE hosts its own image repository.

Building

Checkout the code and then run:

make build

This project uses hellogopher to simplify the building aspects of it.

The container-feeder binary can be found under the bin/ directory.

Usage

To import all the missing RPM images:

./container-feeder

It's possible to specify the name of the directory containing all the .tar.xz files:

./container-feeder --dir <path to dir>

By default the program will look for the images under /usr/share/suse-docker-images/native.

Limitations

This program will "docker load" all the .tar.xz images that have to be available to the local docker daemon.

These images must be native docker images, they cannot be tarballs containing just the root filesystem of the image. Hence it's not possible to import the pre-built Docker images that are currently shipped by SUSE.
