- based on jib
- does not use
Dockerfor building or pushing. A local Docker install is not required. - optimized for repeatable image builds
- produces images that work well with OSS vulnerability scanners. Scanners will detect OS, Java, and OSS dependency vulnerabilities.
- uses the lein metajar packaging technique. Automatically
generates
Class-Pathentry inManifest.mfentries in jar. - based on lein-jib-build ideas and code but installed as a clj Tool.
- automatically adds
org.opencontainers.imageLABELS to the target image
This can be installed as a named tool.
clj -Ttools install io.github.atomisthq/jibbit '{:git/tag "v0.1.14"}' :as jibYou can now build clojure projects into containers using clj -Tjib build.
Build jar and package into a container image based on gcr.io/distroless/java. It is mandatory to specify a main namespace. This becomes the entry point for the container image. Change directory to the project containing your deps.edn directory and then run the following command.
$ clj -Tjib build :config "{:main ${MAIN_NAMESPACE}}"This will build the container image to a file named app.tar. You can inspect the layers, the config.json, and manifest.json before pushing the image. The base layers will come from gcr.io/distroless/java and the two application layers will contain the app's deps.edn dependencies and the compiled app jar.
$ tar -tf app.tar

config.json
manifest.jsonThe :config can also be slurped from a local file named jib.edn, or the path to a config file can be passed in the environment variable JIB_CONFIG. If using eithese options, simply run clj -Tjib build.
The :main key is mandatory. Non-default values of :base-image and :target-image can also be specified.
{:main my-namespace.core
:base-image {:image-name "gcr.io/distroless/java"
:type :registry}
:target-image {:image-name "gcr.io/my-project/my-repository"
:type :registry
:authorizer {:fn jibbit.gcloud/authorizer}}}Command substitution will also work if you're using a bourne style shell.
clj -Tjib build :config "$(< jib.edn)"This does require a local Docker install! However, it does not use Docker for building. It makes the image available for running in a local docker runtime.
Use a jib.edn where the :target-image is of type docker.
{:main my-namespace.core
:target-image {:image-name "namespace/image_name"
:type :docker}}If running clj -Tjib build was successful, you'll be able to run the container locally with this command.
$ docker run --rm namespace/image_nameSince there was no tag specified, this will default to latest.
None of the configurations below rely on a local docker client. This means that you can build and push from environments that do not have a running docker daemon.
If you have gcloud installed, and you have already run gcloud auth login to login to your account, then the jib tool will fetch credentials from your current login.
{:main my-namespace.core
:target-image {:image-name "gcr.io/my-project/my-image-name"
:type :registry
:authorizer {:fn jibbit.gcloud/authorizer}}}The authorizer shown above is a function that will use gcloud auth print-access-token to create the access token.
You can reference your own own custom authorizers. Note that this is running as a named tool, so the deps of your projects are not loaded in the current runtime. You can, however, load namespaces from the root of your project (eg from ".").
There are a few ways to authenticate to ECR. If you have a local aws profile then use the :profile type shown below. This will call the same api that would be called by the equivalent aws ecr get-login-password --region us-west-1 --profile sts.
{:main my-namespace.core
:target-image {:image-name "ACCOUNT.dkr.ecr.REGION.amazonaws.com/REPOSITORY"
:type :registry
:authorizer {:fn jibbit.aws-ecr/ecr-auth
:args {:type :profile
:profile-name "sts"
:region "us-west-1"}}}}Your user must have write access to the docker namespace. You can set credentials using :username and :password keys.
{:main my-namespace.core
:target-image {:image-name "my-namespace/image_name"
:type :registry
:username "<my-docker-user>"
:password "<my-docker-personal-access-token>"}}However, if you want to check in your configuration and still read the credentials from disk, then extract the credentials using an authorizer function.
{:main my-namespace.core
:target-image {:image-name "my-namespace/image_name"
:type :registry
:authorizer {:fn jibbit.creds/load-edn
:args {:local ".creds.edn"}}}}Your .creds.edn file should be an edn map with two keys (:username and :password).
{:username "<my-docker-user>" :password "<my-docker-personall-access-token>"}Jib can ignore HTTPS certificate errors when pushing to a container registry. Setting the key allow-insecure-registries to true on the command line will tell jib to ignore these errors, and to attempt HTTP as a last resort. If using a
self-signed certificate, the key can be added to your local trust store to avoid having to enable this flag.
clj -Tjib build :allow-insecure-registries true
In most of the above configurations, we did not include a tag in the in :image-name. You can add a tag directly to the config.
{:main my-namespace.core
:target-image {:image-name "my-namespace/image_name:v1"
:type :registry
:authorizer {:fn jibbit.creds/load-edn
:args {:local ".creds.edn"}}}}You can also pass the tag in on the command line using the :tag key. When you explicitly set a :tag on the command line, it will override any tag that is already present in the :image-name of the :target-image map.
clj -Tjib build :tag v1Tags are often extracted dynamically from some other project metadata, like a git tag on the HEAD commit. Add a :tagger to the :target-image map to control how the next tag is extracted.
An out of the box jibbit.tagger/tag function is packaged with this tool. It will try to use a tag on the HEAD commit, or just the HEAD commit SHA if there is no tag. It will throw an exception if the current working copy is not clean.
{:main my-namespace.core
:target-image {:image-name "my-namespace/image_name"
:type :registry
:tagger {:fn jibbit.tagger/tag}
:authorizer {:fn jibbit.creds/load-edn
:args {:local ".creds.edn"}}}}Any custom :tagger that you define will be over-ridden by a :tag key on the command line. An explicit :tag value on the command line always wins.
To tag an image with multiple tags, use the :tags key. e.g.,
{:tags ["latest" "v1.0.0" "sha-594d24e"]}The examples above were all built on the gcr.io/distroless/java base. You can also use private images from authenticated registries, or other public base images. For example, choose openjdk:11-slim-buster as the base image using this configuration.
{:main my-namespace.core
:user "nobody"
:base-image {:image-name "openjdk:11-slim-buster"
:type :registry}}All of the :authorizer configs shown above can be used in the :base-image maps. Add an :authorizer if you are building on a base image that is stored in a private registry.
To build an arm64 image, use an arm64 base image such as arm64v8/openjdk.
{:main my-namespace.core
:base-image {:image-name "arm64v8/openjdk:11.0.14.1-jdk-bullseye"
:type :registry}}By default, this tool tries to set a non-root user when we recognize a base image that comes equipped with a good alternative. For example, the openjdk images have a "nobody" user and the gcr.io/distroless/java images have a user with id 65532. This can be over-ridden with the :user key. In general, it's a good practice to verify that your images are not required to run as the root user.
If you're using an unrecognized base image, your image will default to run as root. Add a :user key if your image supports running as non-root.
{:main my-namespace.core
:user "nobody"}This tool automatically adds opencontainer metadata LABELs to the target image. It is a good idea to run jib only when the working directory is clean.
if [ -z "$(git status --porcelain)" ]; then
clj -Tjib build
else
echo "Don't jib with uncommitted changes."
exit -1
fiBy adhering to this rule, the metadata in the Image can be used to trace a running container back to its source code.
Labels that are automatically set in each target image are shown below.
| LABEL | value |
|---|---|
| org.opencontainers.image.revision | set to the commit SHA |
| org.opencontainers.image.source | set to the remote git url |
| com.atomist.containers.image.build | jib config used to reproduce this image |
Use tools.build to compile your .clj files before packaging them in the container image. This will obviously slow down the image build but speed up the container runtime.
{:main my-namespace.core
:aot true}You can experiment with this on the command line.
clj -Tjib build :aot trueControl the packaged libraries with :aliases in your deps.edn. If you need :extra-deps, :classpath-overrides, :extra-paths, or :jvm-opts then pass a vector of aliases in the config file.
{:main my-namespace.core
:aliases [:production]}You can also pass :aliases directly on the command line.
clj -Tjib build :aliases '[:production]'clj -X:test
