Hello,

does anyone know, whether the Dockerfiles used for building the images offered on the openfoam.org download page are publicly available?

Where would I find these?

Thanks in advance

Hi Muerio,

In the installation instructions in step 4, it asks you to download and run this script:

http://dl.openfoam.org/docker/openfoam10-linux

There you can see that the image is: openfoam/openfoam10-paraview56 for the current version. On docker hub (https://hub.docker.com/r/openfoam/op...araview56/tags), by clicking on the tag you can view the steps that constitues the docker image.

I am not sure if the text versions of the openfoam releases are stored elsewhere.

Hi ukaya,

thank you for your reply.

I already looked at the details for the individual tags.
Unfortunately you can't get all the information you need from it.
Especially the files copied into the images.

I really hoped to find a repository of the Dockerfile somewhere so I could fork the entire setup and use it to build the image on a more frequent basis.

Hi Muerio,

You are right. Nevertheless, more or less the only critical step is "apt-get install ..."

I have come across these dockerfiles: https://github.com/PawseySC/pawsey-containers, which I use for building docker images for debugging openfoam. You might find them useful.

Cheers

The www.openfoam.com docker files are publicly available, and their use for making your own images is actively encouraged.
https://develop.openfoam.com/packaging/containers


contains templates for a variety of distributions and different compositions of openfoam. The nss-wrapper solution corresponds to the openfoam-docker start script, but there are also some chroot versions that can be useful while building content.


EDIT: just added some preliminary definition files for apptainer/singularity (doesn't need nss-wrapper at all).
