Actinia docker image with latest GRASS GIS code

[jonas-eberle]

Hi all,

is there a possibility to run an Actinia Docker container together with a recent GRASS GIS (last commit of GRASS GIS main repository)?

There is already a Docker container with recent GRASS GIS code (grass-py3-pdal:latest-ubuntu), but I didnt't find an Actinia Dockerfile based on this image.

Thanks
Jonas

Hi Jonas, not out-of-the-box. The actinia build is only triggered for a release or push to main branch.
I restarted the last github action manually which did the docker builds for main branch and some jobs already run through:
For example the actinia-core image with tag g79-latest-alpine now contains

version=8.0.dev
date=2021
revision=75dd60a
build_date=2021-09-14

which is what you are looking for. If you prefer the ubuntu image, it should be pushed soon as well.

This could be done via GHA scheduler, but we find it is overhead to build a new actinia image e.g. every day. Usually it is feasable to have a new GRASS GIS version for new changes in actinia and anything on top can be done manually.
Therefore closing this.

@mmacata Thanks for the info. I think it is not necessary to have an Actinia container always with the latest GRASS GIS, but it would be good to have a Dockerfile / docker-compose that can be used/build locally with the latest GRASS GIS. Maybe this is already available, but would be great to have a documentation about this.

Ok, I see. A Dockerfile is available for this https://github.com/mundialis/actinia_core/tree/main/docker/actinia-core-alpine but manual steps are required:

• change grass-py3-pdal:stable-alpine to grass-py3-pdal:latest-alpine in docker/actinia-core-alpine/Dockerfile
• reuse docker-compose-dev.yml and replace

build:
      context: actinia-core-dev/

build:
      context: actinia-core-alpine/

• build it with docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose-dev.yml build --pull
• run it with docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose-dev.yml up

I will reopen this until it makes it into the documentation.
