Create Container Image

If you are using IBM Cloud Code Engine to run your container image and the containter registry used is the IBM Cloud Container Registry or a non-Public registry, you will be required to setup a secret for reading the image. Follow the steps outlined in here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-add-registry to do just that.

Using Docker build commands

This example is using Docker to build the image.

You will use the provided Dockerfile.

  • Install docker on your machine and build the docker image

     docker build . -t mean-stack:v1.0.0

  • Run the app locally to verify it works as expected

     docker run -p 8080:8080 --env-file .env -ti mean-stack:v1.0.0

  • Login to your container registry.

    Note: If using the IBM Cloud Container registry, don't forget to use ibmcloud cr login

  • Tag the image with your container registry's namespace/repository name.

    Note: For IBM Cloud Container Registry in the US: docker tag mean-stack:v1.0.0 us.icr.io/<namespace>/mean-stack:1.0.0

  • Push the image.

    Note: For IBM Cloud Container Registry in the US: docker push mean-stack:v1.0.0 us.icr.io/<namespace>/mean-stack:1.0.0

  • If you are using IBM Cloud Code Engine to run your container image and the containter registry used is the IBM Cloud Container Registry or a non-Public registry, you will be required to setup a secret for reading the image. Follow the steps outlined in here: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-add-registry to do just that.

Using Code Engine build commands

Don't have Docker installed locally, this example uses Code Engine to build and publish the image.

You will use the provided Dockerfile.

  • Create a registry secret to push images to the container registry you are using:

       ibmcloud ce registry create --name myregistry --server <registry> --username <username> --password <apikey-access_token-password>

    Note: For IBM Cloud Container Registry: ibmcloud ce registry create --name <secret-name> you are prompted for your IAM APIkey value and the username is defaulted to iamapikey.

  • Create a new image build:

       ibmcloud ce build create --name mean-stack-local-build --build-type local --image <registry><namespace-repository>/sample --registry-secret <secret-name> --dockerfile Dockerfile --strategy dockerfile --size medium

    Note: For IBM Cloud Container Registry in the US: ibmcloud ce build create --name mean-stack-local-build --build-type local --image us.icr.io/<namespace>/sample --registry-secret <secret-name> --dockerfile Dockerfile --strategy dockerfile --size medium

  • Run the build and push to the registry

       ibmcloud ce buildrun submit --build mean-stack-local-build --source .
