»docker (builder)

Build a Docker image using the docker build protocol.

»Interface

Output: docker.Image

»Examples

build {
  use "docker" {
    buildkit    = false
    disable_entrypoint = false
  }
}

»Required Parameters

This plugin has no required parameters.

»Optional Parameters

These parameters are used in the use stanza for this plugin.

»buildkit

If set, use the buildkit builder from Docker.

Type: bool
Optional

»disable_entrypoint

If set, the entrypoint binary won't be injected into the image.

The entrypoint binary is what provides extended functionality such as logs and exec. If it is not injected at build time the expectation is that the image already contains it.

Type: bool
Optional

»dockerfile

The path to the Dockerfile.

Set this when the Dockerfile is not APP-PATH/Dockerfile.

Type: string
Optional

»Output Attributes

Output attributes can be used in your waypoint.hcl as variables via artifact or deploy.

»image

Type: string

»tag

Type: string

»docker-pull (builder)

Use an existing, pre-built Docker image

This builder will automatically inject the Waypoint entrypoint. You can disable this with the "disable_entrypoint" configuration.

If you wish to rename or retag an image, use this along with the "docker" registry option which will rename/retag the image and then push it to the specified registry.

»Interface

Input: component.Source
Output: docker.Image

»Examples

build {
  use "docker-pull" {
    image = "gcr.io/my-project/my-image"
    tag   = "abcd1234"
  }
}

»Required Parameters

These parameters are used in the use stanza for this plugin.

»image

The image to pull.

This should NOT include the tag (the value following the ':' in a Docker image). Use tag to define the image tag.

Type: string

»tag

The tag of the image to pull.

Type: string

»Optional Parameters

These parameters are used in the use stanza for this plugin.

»disable_entrypoint

If set, the entrypoint binary won't be injected into the image.

The entrypoint binary is what provides extended functionality such as logs and exec. If it is not injected at build time the expectation is that the image already contains it.

Type: bool
Optional

»encoded_auth

The authentication information to log into the docker repository.

WARNING: be very careful to not leak the authentication information by hardcoding it here. Use a helper function like file() to read the information from a file not stored in VCS.

Type: string
Optional

»Output Attributes

Output attributes can be used in your waypoint.hcl as variables via artifact or deploy.

»image

Type: string

»tag

Type: string

»docker (registry)

Push a Docker image to a Docker compatible registry.

»Interface

Input: docker.Image
Output: docker.Image

»Examples

build {
  use "docker" {}
  registry {
    use "docker" {
      image = "hashicorp/http-echo"
      tag   = "latest"
    }
  }
}

»Required Parameters

These parameters are used in the use stanza for this plugin.

»image

The image to push the local image to, fully qualified.

This value must be the fully qualified name to the image. for example: gcr.io/waypoint-demo/demo.

Type: string

»tag

The tag for the new image.

This is added to image to provide the full image reference.

Type: string

»Optional Parameters

These parameters are used in the use stanza for this plugin.

»encoded_auth

The authentication information to log into the docker repository.

WARNING: be very careful to not leak the authentication information by hardcoding it here. Use a helper function like file() to read the information from a file not stored in VCS.

Type: string
Optional

»local

If set, the image will only be tagged locally and not pushed to a remote repository.

Type: bool
Optional

»Output Attributes

Output attributes can be used in your waypoint.hcl as variables via artifact or deploy.

»image

Type: string

»tag

Type: string

»docker (platform)

Deploy a container to Docker, local or remote.

»Interface

Input: docker.Image
Output: docker.Deployment

»Examples

deploy {
  use "docker" {
    command      = ["ps"]
    service_port = 3000
    static_environment = {
      "environment": "production",
      "LOG_LEVEL": "debug"
    }
  }
}

»Required Parameters

These parameters are used in the use stanza for this plugin.

»client_config

Client config for remote Docker engine.

This config block can be used to configure a remote Docker engine. By default Waypoint will attempt to discover this configuration using the environment variables: DOCKER_HOST to set the url to the docker server. DOCKER_API_VERSION to set the version of the API to reach, leave empty for latest. DOCKER_CERT_PATH to load the TLS certificates from. DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY to enable or disable TLS verification, off by default.

Type: *docker.ClientConfig

»Optional Parameters

These parameters are used in the use stanza for this plugin.

»binds

A 'source:destination' list of folders to mount onto the container from the host.

A list of folders to mount onto the container from the host. The expected format for each string entry in the list is source:destination. So for example: `binds: ["host_folder/scripts:/scripts"].

Type: []string
Optional

»command

The command to run to start the application in the container.

Type: []string
Optional
Default: the image entrypoint

»force_pull

Always pull the docker container from the registry.

Type: bool
Optional
Default: false

»labels

A map of key/value pairs to label the docker container with.

A map of key/value pair(s), stored in docker as a string. Each key/value pair must be unique. Validiation occurs at the docker layer, not in Waypoint. Label keys are alphanumeric strings which may contain periods (.) and hyphens (-).

Type: map[string]string
Optional

»networks

An list of strings with network names to connect the container to.

A list of networks to connect the container to. By default the container will always connect to the waypoint network.

Type: []string
Optional
Default: waypoint

»resources

A map of resources to configure the container with, such as memory or cpu limits.

These options are used to configure the container used when deploying with docker. Currently, the supported resources are 'memory' and 'cpu' limits. The field 'memory' is expected to be defined as "512MB", "44kB", etc.

Type: map[string]string
Optional

»scratch_path

A path within the container to store temporary data.

Docker will mount a tmpfs at this path.

Type: string
Optional

»service_port

Port that your service is running on in the container.

Type: uint
Optional
Default: 3000

»static_environment

Environment variables to expose to the application.

These environment variables should not be run of the mill configuration variables, use waypoint config for that. These variables are used to control over all container modes, such as configuring it to start a web app vs a background worker.

Type: map[string]string
Optional

»Output Attributes

Output attributes can be used in your waypoint.hcl as variables via artifact or deploy.

»container

Type: string

»id
