python-dind

A python image with docker, dockerd, docker-compose, and dind for use in ci. Find it on dockerhub

Uses/features:

• With testcontainers-python in a ci
• Running pytest e2e tests that use external services
• Having one image that can act as both the docker daemon and client
• No need to install python on docker:dind at the start of each job
• Glibc-based means it can use wheels from PYPI without building from source like on alpine python images

How does this repo work?

The images are constructed automatically on a selected set of tags from the official python image, briefly tested, then uploaded.

• The Dockerfile merges instructions from the official docker:dind Dockerfile and other debian based docker images
• The version fetching is inspired by the official docker image's versions.sh
• Automatic image builds loosely based on This blog post + the github actions documentation
