When building a docker we relay on `VERSION` value from
`SCYLLA-VERSION-GEN` . For `rc` releases only there is a different
between the configured version (X.X.rcX) and the actualy debian package
we generate (X.X~rcX)
Using a similar solution as i did in dcb10374a5
Fixes: #9616
Closes #9617
Docker image with a self-built executable
The following instructions will allow you to build a Docker image which contains a combination of some tools from the nightly build in http://downloads.scylladb.com/ (as described above) but with a Scylla executable which you build yourself.
Do the following in the top-level Scylla source directory:
-
Build your own Scylla in whatever build mode you prefer, e.g., dev.
-
Run
ninja dist-dev(with the same mode name as above) to prepare the distribution artifacts. -
Run
./dist/docker/debian/build_docker.sh --mode devThis creates a docker image as a file, in the OCI format, and prints its name, looking something like:
oci-archive:build/dev/dist/docker/scylla-4.6.dev-0.20210829.4009d8b06 -
This file can copied to a docker repository, or run directly with podman:
podman run oci-archive:build/dev/dist/docker/scylla-4.6.dev-0.20210829.4009d8b06Often with additional parameters, as in docs/alternator/getting-started.md:
podman run --name scylla -d -p 8000:8000 oci-archive:... --alternator-port=8000 --alternator-write-isolation=always
