Environments

VRE related and user environment images for workflows and notebooks.

VRE user environments

We strongly recommend that every user enviroment image uses the latests vre-singleuser image as a base layer (the FROM command in the Dockerfile). For example:

FROM ghcr.io/vre-hub/vre-singleuser:sha-40199b2

or

FROM ghcr.io/vre-hub/vre-singleuser-py38:sha-7ed7d80

• It is advisable to use the :sha-<SHA> tagging rather than the :latest one.
  • Check the latest version of the vre-singleuser image here.
  • And the latest version of the vre-singleuser-py38 image here.

Within your PR:

• Add a folder per environments, the directory needs to contain a valid Dockerfile. Once your PR is merged, the CI will detect the changes in the repository and will trigger the building of the image.
• Add a README.md file describing the environment and its usage.
• We strongly recommend to add the following lines to any new user environment (thus in a Dockerfile)

# After the `FROM` and any other `LABEL` commands
ARG BUILD_DATE
LABEL org.label-schema.build-date=$BUILD_DATE

• The above lines will "label" the image with the time it was build by the CI.
