Docker¶
Overview¶
Docker is a tool that allows for portable, containerized instances of applications. It ensures repeatability and consistency across deployments and platforms.
The included Dockerfiles are intended to make working with the Sawtooth Lake platform easy, whether you’re a core developer or someone who’s just interested in trying it out.
Layout of the docker subdirectory¶
The docker subdirectory is structured as follows:
docker/
compose/
sawtooth-all
sawtooth-build-java
sawtooth-build-javascript
...
sawtooth-dev-base
sawtooth-dev-rest_api
...
sawtooth-tp_config
sawtooth-tp_intkey_python
...
sawtooth-validator
- compose/
- Contains docker compose files for easily bringing up validator networks and connected transaction processors.
- sawtooth-build-*
Dockerfiles used to build the Sawtooth Lake source code without polluting the host environment. The containers should be run with the source code mounted inside the container.
These Dockerfiles are built and run as part of the build_all command.
- sawtooth-dev-*
Dockerfiles used for testing and development.
These Dockerfiles are built as part of the build_all command and run as part of the run_tests command.
- sawtooth-*
- Dockerfiles that build images with Sawtooth Lake installed from the Sawtooth Lake package repository (http://repo.sawtooth.me). These Dockerfiles do not make any assumptions about the build or runtime environments.
