On Mac OS and Windows, docker runs on a hypervisor that is not allocated much
|
||||
memory by default, and some spack packages may fail to build due to lack of
|
||||
memory. To work around this issue, consider configuring your docker installation
|
||||
to use more of your host memory. In some cases, you can also ease the memory
|
||||
pressure on parallel builds by limiting the parallelism in your config.yaml.

This guide is intended for people who want to use our prepared docker
|

environments to work on developing Spack or working on spack packages. It is
|

meant to serve as the companion documentation for the :ref:`packaging-guide`.
|

--------
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, all you need is the latest version of ``docker``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd share/spack/docker
|
||||
$ source config/ubuntu.bash
|
||||
$ ./run-image.sh
|
||||
|
||||
This command should drop you into an interactive shell where you can run spack
|
||||
within an isolated docker container running ubuntu. The copy of spack being
|
||||
used should be tied to the working copy of your cloned git repo, so any changes
|
||||
you make should be immediately reflected in the running docker container. Feel
|
||||
free to add or modify any packages or to hack on spack, itself. Your contained
|
||||
copy of spack should immediately reflect all changes.
|
||||
|
||||
To work within a container running a different linux distro, source one of the
|
||||
other environment files under ``config``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ source config/fedora.bash

Using Spack to Create Docker Images
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Spack can be the ideal tool to set up images for Docker (and Singularity).
|
||||
|
||||
An example ``Dockerfile`` is given below, downloading the latest spack
|
||||
version.
|
||||
|
||||
The following functionality is prepared:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Base image: the example starts from a minimal ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Pre-install the spack dependencies.
|
||||
Package installs are followed by a clean-up of the system package index,
|
||||
to avoid outdated information and it saves space.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Install spack in ``/usr/local``.
|
||||
Add ``setup-env.sh`` to profile scripts, so commands in *login* shells
|
||||
can use the whole spack functionality, including modules.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Install an example package (``tar``).
|
||||
As with system package managers above, ``spack install`` commands should be
|
||||
concatenated with a ``&& spack clean -a`` in order to keep image sizes small.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Add a startup hook to an *interactive login shell* so spack modules will be
|
||||
usable.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to build and run the image, execute:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
docker build -t spack .
|
||||
docker run -it spack
