build-image

info

• This driver requires the target.app_name field to be set to the Porter release name.
• The source.name field should use the name of the Helm chart that the Porter release is going to use.

This preview environments driver can be used to build a Docker image locally by using some details from the intended Porter release that is being deployed using the built image. The config section, when using this driver, supports the following properties:

• build [Object, required] - options to build the image, with the following properties:
  • use_pack_cache [Boolean, optional] - whether to use the pack cache when building the image, when using the pack method
  • method [String, required] - one of docker, pack (Cloud Native Buildpacks) or registry
  • context [String, optional] - the current build context or working directory to use, relative to the root directory. Defaults to the current working directory.
  • dockerfile [String, required only when method is docker] - path to the Dockerfile to use, relative to the root directory
  • image [String, required only when method is registry] - the container image URI to use including the full image path and the tag
  • builder [String, optional] - the Buildpacks builder to use when using the pack method. Defaults to paketobuildpacks/builder:full.
  • buildpacks [Array of Strings, optional] - the list of buildpacks to use, when using the pack method
  • env [Map of String keys to String values, optional] - the environment variables to use for the build
• env_groups [Array of Objects, optional] - list of env groups to use to build the app or addon, supporting the following properties:
  • name [String, required] - the name of the env group
  • namespace [String, required] - the namespace to use for the env group
  • version [Integer, optional] - the version of the env group
• values [Map of String keys to Object values, optional] - the Helm chart values to use for the app or addon. For a detailed explanation, please read the section on Runtime Configuration.

For example, to build a Docker image locally using the pack method, you can use the following:

---
resources:
  - name: my-image
    driver: build-image
    source:
      name: web
    target:
      app_name: my-porter-release
    config:
      build:
        method: pack
        builder: heroku/builder:20
      values:
        container:
          env:
            normal:
              FOO: BAR
