VM image for the Rajware Docker course
This repository contains build instructions and Packer templates for building VM images for the Docker course conducted by Rajware. Images can be built for VirtualBox and Hyper-V.
Each image contains a self-contained Alpine Linux installation with XFCE, and the open-source Docker Engine.
The VirtualBox image includes a display manager (lightdm), and is intended to be used from the VirtualBox UI directly. It offers a full GUI, with host clipboard integration. It can also be reached from the host via SSH, using hostname localhost and port 50022.
The Hyper-V image does not include a display manager. It is intended to be used via an RDP connection (Windows Remote Desktop for example). It also offers, via the RDP client software, a full GUI with host clipboard integration. It can also be reached from the host via SSH, using its IP address and port 22.
Images can be built by manually following the instructions in BUILDING.md, or by running the Packer script as detailed in PACKER.md.
If the Packer script is used, a key pair has to be supplied as described in PACKER.md. Each release published in this repository uses a fresh key pair, which is discarded after the build.
