Avi Kivity 58a662b9db dist: refresh container base image (ubi9-minimal)
Using an outdated image can cause problems when `microdnf update`
runs, if the distribution doesn't maintain good update hygiene.
Although, I suspect that when update failures happen they're really
caused by propagation delay of packages to mirrors.

Fix by using --pull=always to get a fresh image.

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:

  1. Build your own Scylla in whatever build mode you prefer, e.g., dev.

  2. Run ninja dist-dev (with the same mode name as above) to prepare the distribution artifacts.

  3. Run ./dist/docker/debian/build_docker.sh --mode dev

    This 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

  4. 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-0.20210829.4009d8b06

    Often 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
