Ping docker-builds Repository Summary

Using the repository

This page only describes the repository structure for context and understanding. For instructions on using the repository to build an image, visit this page.

In the docker-builds Github repository, we share our Dockerfiles and automation scripts used for building Ping product container images. You can use these scripts and supporting pieces found in the repository to build an image of your own locally. For example, you can use this process to build an image for an older version we no longer provide on Docker Hub.

The image build process at Ping uses the Docker multi-stage build process. In summary, we build out image layers that are common to most or all of our products, and from those we add layers to refine and create the image for each product. In doing so, we ensure that all of our product container images have a similar structure. For example, all Ping products written in Java use the same Java runtime version in our images, since each product container image has the same JVM base image.

As you explore the repository, you will find directories for building each product and supporting image, each with a Dockerfile and supporting scripts. As these are layered, they build out a complete product image for use in Kubernetes or another container orchestration environment. For the most part, each directory represents the source for an image, whether a final product image or an intermediate layer.
