• stepchowfun/docuum: Docuum: LRU eviction of Docker images 🌟 Docuum performs least recently used (LRU) eviction of Docker images.

  • Docker's built-in docker image prune --all --filter until=… command serves a similar purpose. However, the built-in solution isn't ideal since it uses the image creation time, rather than the last usage time, to determine which images to remove. That means it can delete frequently used images, which may be expensive to rebuild.
  • Docuum is ideal for use cases such as continuous integration (CI) workers, developer workstations, or any other environment in which Docker images accumulate on disk over time. Docuum works well with tools like Toast and Docker Compose.
  • Docuum is used by Airbnb on its fleet of 1.5k+ CI workers.

• altoros.com: Streamlining the Creation of Docker Images with Cloud Native Buildpacks The new Cloud Native Buildpacks framework changes the obnoxious development chore of Dockerfile writing into a simple, automated operations pipeline. When deploying apps to Kubernetes or other container-as-a-service platforms, the proliferation of nonstandard, unauditable containers built manually via Dockerfiles is a real problem. A few products have emerged to solve this problem, among them Cloud Native Buildpacks (СNB). In this blog post, we explore the capabilities of these buildpacks and explain how to use them in build pipelines to deliver standardized, auditable images as artifacts suitable for deployment.

Environment variables in Docker:

Environment variables are dynamic-named values that affect how our app will behave when running.

We can define them with Docker:
- at runtime
- in the Dockerfile
- in the Compose file (2 ways)

How to grasp Containers and Docker (Mega Thread)

When I started using containers back in 2015, I thought they were tiny virtual machines with a subsecond startup time.

It was easy to follow tutorials from the Internet on how to put your Python or Node.js app into a container...
