Examples

A great way to get started with dobi is to look over some examples.

Full Configs

• dobi - a Golang command line tool (dobi uses itself!). This example demonstrates:
  • dist-img - building a minimal image (that doesn’t contain build dependencies) for distributing an application.
  • building multiple images for different tasks (builder, linter, releaser)
  • watch - watching code for changes and auto-running unit tests and docs-watch for watching docs changes and auto-building the docs.
  • shell (and docs-shell) - getting an interactive shell that contains all the dependencies required to build or test the project.
  • combinding tasks with an alias so they can be run together (test, and all).
• PyStaticConfiguration - a python library. This example demonstrates:
  • pypiconf - providing secrets to containers by mounting a file
  • release - automating the steps of the release process

Use Cases

• examples/minimal-docker-image - building a minimal docker image, that does not contain build/compile dependencies. This is sometimes referred to as “squashing” an image.
• examples/tag-images - tag images with metadata (git sha, git branch, datetime, and version)
• examples/project-setup - prompt users for configuration and generate a .env file if it doesn’t exist.
• examples/init-db-with-rails - load database tables and fixtures from rails models and create a database image and development environment.
• examples/init-named-volume - create or update the files in a named docker volume.
• examples/inline-dockerfile - inline Dockerfiles in the dobi.yaml to reduce the number of build files.
• examples/env-vars - populate environment variables from job task output
