Grocker - a Docker image builder for Python applications
Grocker allows you to bundle your Python applications as Docker image while keeping the image size as minimal as possible.
Grocker uses debian:buster, debian:bookworm or alpine:latest as its base image.
Grocker is hosted on Github at https://github.com/polyconseil/Grocker. Grocker full documentation is available on https://grocker.readthedocs.io/.
Installation
Install Docker Engine. See its official documentation.
Install Grocker with pip: pip install grocker.
Basic usage
$ grocker build ipython==5.0.0 --entrypoint ipython
$ docker run --rm -ti ipython:5.0.0-<grocker-version>Direct wheel path
A wheel can also be directly passed to grocker to avoid the need to upload an artefact to build an image.
Grocker will switch to this mode if a / is present in the argument. Pip extra requirements can be used in this mode.
$ grocker build ./path/to/ipython-7.1.1-py3-none-any.whl[doc] --entrypoint ipython
$ docker run --rm -ti ipython-doc:7.1.1-<grocker-version>5 maintainers
