# Examples of using the docker tools to build packages. # # This file defines several docker images. In order to use an image, # build its derivation with `nix-build`, and then load the result with # `docker load`. For example: # # $ nix-build '' -A dockerTools.examples.redis # $ docker load < result { pkgs, buildImage, pullImage, shadowSetup, buildImageWithNixDb, pkgsCross }: rec { # 1. basic example bash = buildImage { name = "bash"; tag = "latest"; contents = pkgs.bashInteractive; }; # 2. service example, layered on another image redis = buildImage { name = "redis"; tag = "latest"; # for example's sake, we can layer redis on top of bash or debian fromImage = bash; # fromImage = debian; contents = pkgs.redis; runAsRoot = '' mkdir -p /data ''; config = { Cmd = [ "/bin/redis-server" ]; WorkingDir = "/data"; Volumes = { "/data" = {}; }; }; }; # 3. another service example nginx = let nginxPort = "80"; nginxConf = pkgs.writeText "nginx.conf" '' user nginx nginx; daemon off; error_log /dev/stdout info; pid /dev/null; events {} http { access_log /dev/stdout; server { listen ${nginxPort}; index index.html; location / { root ${nginxWebRoot}; } } } ''; nginxWebRoot = pkgs.writeTextDir "index.html" ''
