[Pipelines] Build docker image in bitbucket-pipelines.yml

[Matthieu Maquevice]

Heyy,

In my bitbucket-pipelines.yml, I want to be able to build a docker image in my step/script (docker build -t myTag .). To do that I use an image allowing me to do docker in docker (jeroenknoops/docker-docker-dind-bash). However, to build the image, I need the container to be started with the option "-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock". Is there a way to do that ? Is there another way to build a docker image from the script?

Thanks for your help!

you can now build docker images right from within pipelines: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/running-docker-commands-in-bitbucket-pipelines-879254331.html

Hi Matthieu,

It is possible to build a docker image externally and reference it by adding 

image: yourdockerusername/imagename

with the appropriate values to your yaml file (as specified here https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/39140980). Unfortunately there is no way of running docker in docker regardless of image used. This means it is not possible to build docker images from the script.

Hello Thomas,

I believe what Matthieu is looking to do (and I am as well) is what is described in the last section of this article. The hope is that this would actually allow the creation of a docker image from within the script (which could then be pushed to a docker registry, deployed, etc.). I did a little testing locally, and running the docker image as follows did allow me to create docker images from within docker.

docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -ti docker

I'm just starting to experiment with docker deployment strategies, but I am curious if there is any way to add the ability to bind the docker socket on the image used by Pipelines?

Thanks for your help!

Hey Justin,

unfortunately Bitbucket Pipelines doesn't support yet the building of Docker images as part of your build. 

We do however hope to get this functionality added soon. You can find the open feature request here: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/12790/building-and-pushing-docker-images

Hi Jeroen,

Alright, thanks for pointing out the feature request! I'll keep an eye on that.

This is kind of a late comment from me, but you can ln -s the docker socket to inside your $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR and refer to that as a volume.

Also an update: Docker build and push (and other operations) are now supported by Pipelines: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2017/04/18/bitbucket-pipelines-supports-building-docker-images-and-service-containers/

@sandorvasas Do you have an example using ln -s ?

For weird reason, the forum won't let me post my question; so posting a link to my question in StackOverflow:

This issue is really puzzling and I wonder if anyone can drop in an insight. Thanks!
