DO188, CH08S04 Where are the Containerfiles?

[riemann]

Hello,

I have done ch08s04. But I was wondering where the Containerfiles are? Does Openshift work with Containerfiles?

I see in DO188/labs/openshift-multipod/gitea a Containerfile. But is this a showcase, I mean it is not used? The same question for ch08s02.

Hi @riemann, openshift can work with containerfiles (Dockerfile) as long as they are in a public repository such github, from where it can pull the Containerfile to build a new image.

But in the exercise you are referring to the images are already built and stored in the registry, so openshift just pull them to spin a container.

Have a look at the documentation where it explains it:
