[openstack-dev] [Magnum]Cache docker images

Eli,

The approach of pre-pulling docker images has a problem. It only works for specific docker storage driver. In comparison, the tar file approach is portable across different storage drivers.

Best regards,
Hongbin

hi hello again

I believe you are talking about this bp https://blueprints.launchpad.net/magnum/+spec/cache-docker-images
then ignore my previous reply, that may another topic to solve network limited problem.

I think you are on the right way to build docker images but this image could only bootstrap by cloud-init, without cloud-init
the container image tar file are not loaded at all, but seems this may not be the best way.

I'v suggest that may be the best way is we pull docker images while building atomic-image. Per my understanding, the
image build process is we mount the image to read/write mode to some tmp directory and chroot to to that dircetory,
we can do some custome operation there.

I can do a try on the build progress(guess rpm-ostree should support some hook scripts)

Hi all,

We want to eliminate pulling docker images over the Internet on bay provisioning. There are two problems of this approach:
1. Pulling docker images over the Internet is slow and fragile.
2. Some clouds don't have external Internet access.

It is suggested to build all the required images into the cloud images to resolved the issue.

Here is a solution:
We export the docker images as tar files, and put the tar files into a dir in the image when we build the image. And we add scripts to load the tar files in cloud-init, so that we don't need to download the docker images.

Any advice for this solution or any better solution?

Regards,
Wanghua
