Docker Images for Building Ceph

Docker images containing dependencies for building Ceph. Why? To speedup containerized Ceph development workflows. To build an image:

docker build \
  --build-arg UBUNTU_VERSION="bionic" \
  --build-arg GIT_URL="https://github.com/ceph/ceph" \
  --build-arg GIT_REF="nautilus" \
  --tag myrepo/ceph-builder:bionic-nautilus ./

To add extra dependencies, an EXTRA_PKGS argument can also be provided, which should include a space-separated list of package names that need to be installed in addition to what install-deps.sh provides.

Pre-built Images

We maintain the popperized/ceph-builder Docker registry repository with tags for distinct versions of Ceph (mimic, nautilus and luminous) on Ubuntu 18.04.

Usage

To build Ceph using these images:

docker run \
  -v "/path/to/ceph:/ceph" -e CEPH_SRC_DIR="/ceph" \
  popperized/ceph-builder:nautilus-bionic \
    target1 target2

In the above example, we assume that the /path/to/ceph/ folder contains a local working directory of the Ceph repository. We bind-mount this folder and map it to /ceph inside the container. We then specify the CMake targets we want to build (target1, target2 in the example). The ENTRYPOINT to the image will create a build/ directory inside the Ceph folder if it doesn't exist and invoke cmake, followed by make. The following variables are used to control the logic of this entrypoint script:

  • CMAKE_FLAGS. Flags that are passed to cmake when configuring the project.

  • CMAKE_RECONFIGURE. If the variable is defined (can take any value), forces a reconfiguration of the project by calling cmake again. Default: unset.

  • CMAKE_CLEAN. If defined (can take any value), removes the build/ directory and invokes cmake on a freshly created (and empty) build/ folder. Default: unset.

  • BUILD_THREADS. Number of threads given to make (via the -j flag). Default: all cores in the machine.

For example, the following is a minimal build (OSD and monitor only) on a 32-core machine:

docker run --rm \
  -v "/path/to/ceph:/ceph" \
  -e CEPH_SRC_DIR="/ceph" \
  -e BUILD_THREADS=32 \
  -e CMAKE_FLAGS="-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel -DWITH_RBD=OFF -DWITH_CEPHFS=OFF -DWITH_RADOSGW=OFF -DWITH_MGR=OFF -DWITH_LEVELDB=OFF -DWITH_MANPAGE=OFF -DWITH_RDMA=OFF -DWITH_OPENLDAP=OFF -DWITH_FUSE=OFF -DWITH_LIBCEPHFS=OFF -DWITH_KRBD=OFF -DWITH_LTTNG=OFF -DWITH_BABELTRACE=OFF -DWITH_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_MGR_DASHBOARD_FRONTEND=OFF -DWITH_SYSTEMD=OFF -DWITH_SPDK=OFF" \
  popperized/ceph-builder:nautilus-bionic \
    vstart

Run a Single-node Cluster

This same builder image can be used to run a single-node cluster. For example, assuming we built the minimal configuration shown above:

cd myproject/

docker run --rm -ti \
  -v "/path/to/ceph:/ceph" \
  --entrypoint=/bin/bash \
  popperized/ceph-builder:nautilus-bionic \

The above puts us inside a container. There, we can type:

cd /ceph/build
MON=1 OSD=1 MGR=0 MDS=0 ../src/vstart.sh -d -X -n
bin/ceph -s
