Ironic Container Images
The currently available ironic container images are:
| Name and link to repository | Published image | Content/Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ironic-image | quay.io/metal3-io/ironic | Ironic services / BMC emulators |
| ironic-ipa-downloader | quay.io/metal3-io/ironic-ipa-downloader | Download and cache the ironic python agent ramdisk |
| ironic-client | quay.io/metal3-io/ironic-client | Ironic command-line interface (for debugging) |
The main ironic-image currently contains entry points to run both Ironic
itself and its auxiliary services: dnsmasq and httpd.
How to build a container image
Each repository mentioned in the list contains a Dockerfile that can be used to build the corresponding container, for example:
git clone https://github.com/metal3-io/ironic-image.git
cd ironic-image
docker build . -f Dockerfile
In some cases a make sub-command is provided to build the image using
docker, usually make docker.
Customizing source builds
When building the ironic image, it is also possible to specify a different
source for ironic, ironic-lib or the sushy library using the build arguments
IRONIC_SOURCE, IRONIC_LIB_SOURCE and SUSHY_SOURCE. It is also possible
to apply local patches to the source. See ironic-image
README for
details.
Special resources: sushy-tools and virtualbmc
The Dockerfiles needed to build
sushy-tools (Redfish
emulator) and VirtualBMC (IPMI
emulator) containers can be found in the ironic-image container repository,
under the resources directory.
