Robert J b4e8e63618 Create smaller docker images for releases
Now we'll use build containers to perform preparation steps, causing the release
images to contain only Terraform itself and git/openssh.

Terraform Docker Release Build

This directory contains configuration to drive the docker image releases for Terraform.

Two different types of image are produced for each Terraform release:

  • A "light" image that includes just the release binary that should match what's on releases.hashicorp.com.

  • A "full" image that contains all of the Terraform source code and a binary built from that source.

The latter can be produced for any arbitrary commit by running docker build in the root of this repository. The former requires that the release archive already be deployed on releases.hashicorp.com.

Build and Release

The scripts in this directory are intended for running the steps to build, tag, and push the two images for a tagged and released version of Terraform. They expect to be run with git HEAD pointed at a release tag, whose name is used to determine the version to build. The version number indicated by the tag that HEAD is pointed at will be referred to below as the current version.

  • build.sh builds locally both of the images for the current version. This operates on the local docker daemon only, and produces tags that include the current version number.

  • tag.sh updates the latest, light and full tags to refer to the images for the current version, which must've been already produced by an earlier run of build.sh. This operates on the local docker daemon only.

  • push.sh pushes the current version tag and the latest, light and full tags up to dockerhub for public consumption. This writes images to dockerhub, and so it requires docker credentials that have access to write into the hashicorp/terraform repository.

Releasing a new "latest" version

In the common case where a release is going to be considered the new latest stable version of Terraform, the helper script release.sh orchestrates all of the necessary steps to release to dockerhub:

$ git checkout v0.10.0
$ scripts/docker-release/release.sh

Behind the scenes this script is running build.sh, tag.sh and push.sh as described above, with some extra confirmation steps to verify the correctness of the build.

This script is interactive and so isn't suitable for running in automation. For automation, run the individual scripts directly.

Releasing a beta version or a patch to an earlier minor release

The release.sh wrapper is not appropriate in two less common situations:

  • The version being released is a beta or other pre-release version, with a version number like v0.10.0-beta1 or v0.10.0-rc1.

  • The version being released belongs to a non-current minor release. For example, if the current stable version is v0.10.1 but the version being released is v0.9.14.

In both of these cases, only the specific version tag should be updated, which can be done as follows:

$ git checkout v0.11.0-beta1
$ scripts/docker-release/build.sh
$ docker push hashicorp/terraform:0.11.0-beta1
