= Gradle Plugin for Docker
This repository provides a Gradle plugin for working with Docker.
The plugin contains tasks for building and pushing
images based on a simple configuration block that specifies the container
name, the `Dockerfile`, task dependencies, and any additional file resources
required for the Docker build; tasks for populating placeholders in a
docker-compose template file with image versions resolved from
dependencies; and tasks for starting, stopping, and cleaning
up a named container based on a specified image
== Documentation
=== Tasks
There are two task types
* `DockerBuildTask` : task type for building a docker image
* `DockerPushTask` : task type for pushing a docker image
Apply the plugin using standard gradle convention:
[source]
----
plugins {
id 'org.xbib.gradle.plugin.docker' version '<version>'
}
----
=== Extensions
The extension with name `docker` has the following attributes:
- `enabled` if the task is enabled or not, default is `true`
- `executableName` the executable name of the docker binary, default is `docker`
- `registry` the DNS name of the registry, default is empty
- `imageName` the docker image name, default is empty
- `tag` the docker image tag, default is empty (which means `latest` in docker terminology)
[source]
----
docker {
enabled = true
registry = 'myhost.mydomain'
imageName = 'myimage'
tag = 'mytag'
}
----
=== Build a Docker image
To build a docker image, run a task with type `DockerBuildTask`.
==== Example
[source]
----
plugins {
id 'distribution'
id 'org.xbib.gradle.plugin.docker'
}
task buildDockerImage(type: DockerBuildTask, group: 'docker') {
registry = 'hub.docker.com'
imageName = 'username/my-app'
tag = 'mytag'
dockerfile {

}
}
