This directory contains the Dockerfiles that specify the container images used for IREE. Images are uploaded to Google Container Registry (GCR).
To build an image, use docker build
, e.g.:
docker build build_tools/docker/cmake --tag cmake
To explore an image interactively, use docker run
, e.g.
docker run --interactive --tty --rm cmake
You can find more information in the official Docker docs.
We use multi-stage builds to limit duplication in our Dockerfiles and reduce the final image size. There is still duplication in cases where it's difficult to determine the correct files to copy.
IREE images follow a consistent structure. The image defined by build_tools/docker/foo-bar/Dockerfile
is uploaded to GCR as gcr.io/iree-oss/foo-bar
. It may be tagged as latest
or prod
, e.g. gcr.io/iree-oss/foo-bar:latest
. Dockerfile image definitions should list their dependencies based on these image names.
We use a helper python script to manage the Docker image deployment. It lists all images and their dependencies and manages their canonical registry location. When creating a new image, add it to this mapping. To build an image and all images it depends on:
python3 build_tools/docker/manage_images.py --build --image cmake
To build multiple images
python3 build_tools/docker/manage_images.py --build --image cmake --image bazel
There is also the special option --image all
to build all registered images.
Pushing images to GCR requires the Storage Admin
role in the iree-oss
GCP project. To push these images to GCR with the latest
tag:
python3 build_tools/docker/manage_images.py --image cmake --push
Kokoro build scripts and RBE configuration refer to images by their repository digest. You can update references to the digest:
python3 build_tools/docker/manage_images.py --images all --tag latest --update_references
This requires that the tagged image have a repository digest, which means it was pushed to or pulled from GCR.
If you have worked with the docker
images before, it is prudent to follow the steps in the “Debugging” section below before continuing.
Update the Dockerfile
for the image that you want to modify or add. If you're adding a new image, or updating the dependencies between images, be sure to update IMAGES_TO_DEPENDENCIES
in manage_images.py
as well.
Build the image, push the image to GCR and update all references to the image with the new GCR digest:
python3 build_tools/docker/manage_images.py \ --image "${IMAGE?}" --build \ --tag latest \ --push \ --update_references
Test that the changes behave as expected locally and iterate on the steps above.
Commit the changes and send a PR for review. The CI will use the updated digest references to test the new images.
Merge your PR after is approved and all CI tests pass. Please remember to complete the step below.
:prod
tagKokoro builds preload images tagged with prod
on VM creation, so after changing the images used, you should also update the images tagged as prod
in GCR. This also makes development significantly easier for others who need to modify the docker
images.
We use build_tools/docker/prod_digests.txt
as a source of truth for which versions of the images on GCR should have the :prod
tag. The following command will ensure that you are at upstream HEAD on the main
branch before it updates the tags.
python3 build_tools/docker/manage_prod.py
Sometimes old versions of the :latest
images can be stored locally and produce unexpected behaviors. The following commands will download all of the prod images and then update the images tagged with :latest
on your machine (and on GCR).
# Pull all images that should have :prod tags. (They won't if someone ignores # step 6 above, but the images that this command pulls are correct regardless). python3 build_tools/docker/manage_prod.py --pull_only # Update the :latest images to match the :prod images. # If you have a clean workspace this shouldn't require building anything as # everything should be cache hits from the :prod images downloaded above. python3 build_tools/docker/manage_images.py \ --images all --build \ --tag latest \ --push \ --update_references
