Dogen [dodʒen]

This is a simple tool to generate Dockerfile files from YAML templates.

Usage

This tool is shipped as a Docker image registered as jboss/dogen. You can see the Dockerfile for this image in the main directory of the source distribution. This Docker image uses some conventions:

1. The image template that should be converted into Dockerfile is expected to be available at /input/image.yaml.
2. The output directory will be /output.
3. The directory with (optional) scripts should be available at /scripts.

Considering above you need to remember to mount appropriate volumes at the container start. You are free to change the paths, but please remember to provide new locations as part of the container's run command instruction.

Examples

Assuming your current working directory contains your image.yaml file, any scripts your image.yaml references are in an adjacent subdirectory called scripts and you want the output written to an adjacent sub-directory named out:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/tmp:z dogen:latest --verbose /tmp/image.yaml /tmp/out
