Build with Docker Dev Image

This guide provides instructions for building Apache Cloudberry using a Docker-based development environment. This method is particularly useful for ensuring a consistent build environment across different systems and for saving setup time.

Prerequisites

• Docker: Ensure you have Docker installed on your system. You can download and install Docker from the official website: Docker.
• Harddisk space: Ensure you have at least 10 GB of free disk space available for the Docker image and build artifacts.

Run the Docker Dev Image

Run the following command to start a Docker container with the Apache Cloudberry development image:

Rocky Linux 8

docker run --name cbdb-dev -it --rm -h cdw --shm-size=2gb apache/incubator-cloudberry:cbdb-build-rocky8-latest

Rocky Linux 9

docker run --name cbdb-dev -it --rm -h cdw --shm-size=2gb apache/incubator-cloudberry:cbdb-build-rocky9-latest

Ubuntu 22.04

note

The official Docker development image for Apache Cloudberry is still in development. Coming soon.

Explaination:

• --name=cbdb-dev will set the name of the container to cbdb-dev. You can change it to any name you prefer.
• -it will run the container in interactive mode, allowing you to execute commands inside it.
• --rm will remove the container after you exit it. If you want to keep the container for further use, you can remove this option.
• -h cdw will set the hostname of the container to cdw (Coordinator Data Warehouse).
• --shm-size=2gb is used to set the container's shared memory for test suites run successfully. Test failures can occur when the Cloudberry cluster lacks sufficient shared memory resources, then you may need to increase the container's shared memory using this option.

This development environment has done the following things for you:

• Created a user named gpadmin with the necessary permissions.
• Set up the environment variables and paths.
• Configured the specific system resource limits.
• Installed the necessary dependencies.

Then you will be inside the Docker container with the Apache Cloudberry development environment ready to use. Before you go on, you need to make sure you have login the docker container as the gpadmin user like this:
