Building Custom Docker Images

The build tool kit includes the following files:

• Dockerfile - main script for building the docker image.

• entrypoint.sh - startup script that runs when the container starts.

• patch.sh - utility script for string replacing in the file, needed for building docker image.

• systemctl.py (only applicable to CentOS) - the replacement for systemctl, needed for non-privileged container.

To build the image, just run the following command:

• <image_name[:tag]> - name of your built image with optional tag (e.g. latest ).

• --build-arg VERSION=<version>- the desired MetaDefender ICAP Server version to be downloaded from OPSWAT. If obmitted then a local installer will be used, the installer should be placed in the working directory with name is formatted /mdicapsrv/mdicapsrv-*.rpm or .deb (configurable in the Dockerfile).

• <build-kit_path> - relative path to your build-kit which contains Dockerfile.

For example:

In Dockerfile, there are some environment variables that can be modified for various use cases. You should modify the environment variables before building the MetaDefender ICAP Server docker image.

• VERSION variable needs to be set to the desired version of MetaDefender ICAP Server to be downloaded and used.

• RUN_USER variable is the user that is automatically created in the container and then used to run the MetaDefender ICAP Server. It could be non-root user.

• INSTALL_ROOT variable to define root folder for all MetaDefender ICAP Server data files and folder to reside inside.

• APIKEY_PATH variable to define file path containing API key of your desired local user admin on MetaDefender ICAP Server, that will be used for license activation and deactivation.
