Mastering Continuous Integration with CircleCI and Docker Hub
Description: circleci build docker image
Introduction
Building a Docker image with CircleCI can streamline your CI/CD process by automating the build, test, and deployment of your applications. In this guide, we’ll walk through setting up a CircleCI configuration to build a Docker image.
Prerequisites
Docker: Ensure you have a Dockerfile in your project.
CircleCI Account: Sign up and link your repository.
CircleCI Configuration File: A .circleci/config.yml file in your project root.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Dockerfile Setup
Ensure your project has a Dockerfile defining the steps to build your Docker image.
dockerfile
Copy code
# Example Dockerfile
FROM node:14
# Create app directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
# Install app dependencies
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
# Bundle app source
COPY . .
EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ "node", "app.js" ]
2. CircleCI Configuration
Create a .circleci/config.yml file in your project root. This file tells CircleCI how to build and test your project.
yaml
Copy code
version: 2.1
executors:
docker-executor:
docker:
- image: circleci/node:14
jobs:
build:
executor: docker-executor
steps:
- checkout
- setup_remote_docker:
version: 20.10.7
- run:
name: Build Docker image
command: |
docker build -t my-app .
- run:
name: Verify Docker image
command: |
docker images my-app
workflows:
version: 2
build_and_test:
jobs:
- build
3. Breaking Down the Configuration
Executors: Define the Docker environment for running jobs.
Jobs: Specify a series of steps to execute.
Checkout: Check out the code from the repository.
setup_remote_docker: Enable Docker support in CircleCI.
Build Docker image: Run docker build command to create the image.
Verify Docker image: List Docker images to ensure the image was built.
4. Push to Repository
Commit and push your changes to your repository. CircleCI will automatically trigger a build.
sh
Copy code
git add .circleci/config.yml
git commit -m "Add CircleCI configuration for Docker build"
git push origin main
5. Monitor Build
Go to the CircleCI dashboard to monitor your build. You should see steps executing as defined in your config.yml.
6. Automate Further Steps (Optional)
You can extend the configuration to push the Docker image to a registry, run tests, or deploy to a cloud service.
Example: Pushing to Docker Hub
yaml
Copy code
- run:
name: Login to Docker Hub
command: |
echo $DOCKERHUB_PASS | docker login -u $DOCKERHUB_USER --password-stdin
- run:
name: Push Docker image
command: |
docker tag my-app $DOCKERHUB_USER/my-app:latest
docker push $DOCKERHUB_USER/my-app:latest
Ensure you set DOCKERHUB_USER and DOCKERHUB_PASS as environment variables in CircleCI.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you’ve configured CircleCI build Docker image for your project. This setup can be extended to include tests, security scans, or deployment steps, creating a robust CI/CD pipeline.
