Docker

This page describes the Docker driver

The Docker driver is a Stevedore tool that enables building Docker images using the Docker Engine API.

To accomplish this, Stevedore uses the go-docker-builder library, which provides a set of abstractions on top of the Docker API, allowing Stevedore to prepare the Docker build context and set the build arguments required to build the Docker image. This data is then sent to the Docker Engine API via the go-docker-builder library, which creates the Docker image based on the provided parameters.

Driver configuration

The configuration of the driver is done through the builder. There you can set the path of the Docker’s build context and the Dockerfile.

Refer to the Docker reference to know more about how to set the options for the Docker driver.
