To follow along you will have to change icetekio into your Docker Hub username, or organization that you have write access to. This includes this commands, and also the manifest.yaml file.

Running simple test on machine, to check if python image is supported on this image and docker is working correctly.

docker run -it python:3.8 python -c 'print("Hello world!")'

Building the image.

docker build -t icetekio/nodeinfo:fixedarch .

Running the container with our test image.

docker run --name nodeinfo -d -p 8080:8080 icetekio/nodeinfo:fixedarch
curl localhost:8080

NOTE: The -d detaches the container. If you want to see it logs, then you can run docker logs nodeinfo of run the image with interactive mode by switching the -d flag with -it.

Pushing image to the docker registry.

docker push icetekio/nodeinfo:fixedarch

NOTE: Before running this command you have to be login to docker registry.
