Tips & Tricks

Rebuilding the image

You should not need to rebuild the container, and prefer using the one from upstream. Docker images are automatically build and published on pushes.

You can trigger a manual build locally using:

docker build . --no-cache

Testing a container

You can test locally the container by overriding the entrypoint then bash to it. Adjust the tag cpanelos/perl-compiler:perl-v5.36.0 to point to any other flavor you want. (for example cpanelos/perl-compiler:latest)

docker pull cpanelos/perl-compiler:perl-v5.36.0
docker rm -f mytest
docker run --name mytest  --entrypoint "/bin/bash" -it -d cpanelos/perl-compiler:perl-v5.36.0

docker ps -a
docker exec -it mytest bash
