Repository to host the Docker images files used in conda-forge

It can be useful to build and test these images locally. For many images this can be done by running docker build from the root-level of this repo and passing in the path to the Dockerfile that you wish to build. For example:

docker build --rm --build-arg DISTRO_NAME=centos --build-arg DISTRO_VER=6 -f linux-anvil-comp7/Dockerfile .

However, certain images, such as those building CUDA, will need to have environment variables passed in to be able to build. In this case, you will want to use a command similar to the following:

docker build --rm --build-arg DISTRO_NAME=centos --build-arg DISTRO_VER=6 --build-arg CUDA_VER=11.8.0 -f linux-anvil-cuda/Dockerfile .

• CUDA_VER: This is the cuda & cudatoolkit version that will be used. The value of this variable should be in major-minor-patch format, e.g. 11.8.0.
• DISTRO_ARCH: This is the Linux architecture that the image should use. Should match the upstream Docker image, e.g. amd64.
• DISTRO_NAME: This is the Linux distro image name that should be built with. Should match the upstream Docker image, e.g. centos.
• DISTRO_VER: This is version of Linux distro (typical CentOS) that the image should be built with. This is the major-only version number, e.g. 6 or 7. You'll usually want to build with the lowest working value for maximum compatibility.
