What is SLE BCI?

  • set of open source container images based on SLES
  • permissive license, free to use & redistribute (T&C apply)
  • available for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le & s390x
  • grab them from registry.suse.com

flavors:

  • base images: base, micro, minimal, busybox
  • language stack: go, openjdk, python, etc.
  • application: rmt, postgresql, registry, …

How it all started

Then .Net got out of date…

let's automate things!

And then it grew…

  • more images: , , , .Net, micro, minimal, busybox, , ruby, RMT, …
  • second service pack: SP3 & SP4
  • more formal requirements

let's automate things!

Oh right we should be testing these things…

Testing evolved

So where are we now?

Let us go public!

Are we there yet?

  • it's not really public…
  • templates are not getting applied periodically
  • template creation requires manual work
  • manual changes possible
  • .Net separate from rest

🆕 OBS Feature: <scmsync> 🆕

⇒ dockerfile generator should be the single source of truth

Let's move the templates to GitHub

  • main contains the code
  • sle15-spX / Tumbleweed contains rendered templates + changelog

Let's move everything to git

…Are we there yet…?

What is left to do?

  • run tests on each pull request
  • polish & publish Tumbleweed BCIs
  • add support for Tumbleweed to BCI-tests
  • ALP based BCI
