djtempl 1.0.0

Generate dockerfiles from pip requirements.txt

About

Render a dockerfile from a template and pip requirements.txt. Docker caches each dockerfile command in it’s own layer. By breaking out requirements.txt, each pip requirement goes into its own layer and build time improves.

Handles all the syntax allowed by pip in requirements.txt

Things like comments, whitespace, line continuations etc. that might choke a simpler solution. Uses the actual parser from pip so guaranteed* compatibility

* or your money back

Usage

Start with a copy your regular Dockerfile called Dockerfile.tmpl

Replace the pip install command that looks something like this:

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

with some standard django template tags like this:

{% for req in pip_requirements %}
RUN pip install --upgrade {{ req }}{% endfor%}

djtempl will pass in a tuple called pip_requirements into the template context.

python djtempl.py -t ./Dockerfile.tmpl -p ./requirements.txt -d ./Dockerfile.out -q``

Installation

Sorry, you’re on your own until I find time to learn pipy packaging.

djtempl.py is pure python and only requires django>=1.8.0
