apt-get update

apt-get install --no-install-recommends --yes \
  wait-for-it \
  bzip2 ca-certificates gcc pkg-config \
  libffi-dev libssl-dev \
  astrometry.net astrometry-data-tycho2-08 astrometry-data-tycho2 \
  dcraw exiftool libcfitsio-dev libcfitsio-bin \
  libfreetype6-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libffi-dev \

Docker Service

The docker folder defines an image that can be used as the base for other
PANOPTES services.

The Dockerfile is built by the cloudbuild.yaml and stored in Google
Registry as gcr.io/panoptes-exp/panoptes-utils:latest.

You can pull the image like any other docker image:

docker pull gcr.io/panoptes-exp/panoptes-utils:latest

Config Server

There is also a service defined in docker-compose.yaml that will run the panoptes-config-server cli tool.
