Building, Testing and Releasing

The scripts and docker images used for testing, building and deploying.

Installing docker is a prerequisite. The instructions differ depending on the environment. Docker is comprised of two parts: the daemon server which runs on Linux and accepts commands, and the client which is a Go program capable of running on MacOS, all Unix variants and Windows.

Docker Installation

Follow the Docker install instructions.

Building

The build image is a basic image containing Helm. To use it:

/.../helm-charts $ ./build/builder.sh helm package cockroachdb

Upgrading / Extending the Builder Image

• Edit build/builder/Dockerfile as desired
• Run build/builder.sh init to test -- this will build the image locally. The result of init is a docker image version which you can subsequently stick into the version variable inside the builder.sh script for testing locally.
• Once you are happy with the result, run build/builder.sh push which pushes your image towards Docker hub, so that it becomes available to others. The result is again a version number, which you then must copy back into build/builder.sh. Then commit the change to both Dockerfile and build/builder.sh and submit a PR.
