Provide a Docker container task

Document meta data

• Type: Requirement
• Id: 11
• Context: task feature
• Milestone: 1.0.0

Description

As a devops engineer you should be able to create a docker container by a task. The script code can be embedded in the document or referencing a valid path and filename. The standard parameters are those of a coded task with additional following parameters:

• image-name - required parameter. It's the name of the Docker image.
• image-version - optional parameter. It's the version of the Docker image. If not specified the default version is 'latest'.
• platform - optional parameter. The default is 'unix'. On Windows you also can use Docker to run so called Windows container. For the moment you can use use the one or the other only by switching manually to the platform you prefer. There's an experimental option in Docker allowing you to specify the platform on command line to run both but - since it is experimental - it is not yet supported by the task.

The Docker container runs in foreground mode. When the process has finished the Docker container is automatically removed. The current working path is mapped into the Docker container as /work.

Constraints

• Docker is required to be installed, running and the command should be in the search path.
• You have to choose manually which platform to use: Unix or Windows container.
• No ports are published to outside the moment.
