ufo docker build

Usage

ufo docker build

Description

Build docker image.

The ufo docker build builds a Docker image using the Dockerfile in the current project folder. This simply is a wrapper command that shells out and calls the docker command. We’re use the tongueroo/demo-ufo project and it’s Dockerfile for demonstration. Example:

ufo docker build

You’ll see that it calls:

docker build -t tongueroo/demo-ufo:ufo-2017-06-11T22-18-03-a18aa30 -f Dockerfile .

You should see similar output (some of the output has been truncated for conciseness):

$ ufo docker build

The docker image tag that is generated contains a useful timestamp and the current HEAD git sha of the project that you are on.

By default when you are running ufo docker build directly it does not push the docker image to the registry. If you would like it to automaticaly push the built image to a registry at the end of the build use the --push flag.

ufo docker build --push

You should see it being pushed at the end:

Docker image tongueroo/demo-ufo:ufo-2017-06-11T22-22-32-a18aa30 built.  Took 34s.
The push refers to a repository [docker.io/tongueroo/demo-ufo]

Note in order to push the image to a registry you will need to login into the registry. If you are using DockerHub use the docker login command. If you are using AWS ECR then you can use the aws ecr get-login command.
