Docker environment used to build official images.
This used be here but now lives at the repo attached to tyk-build-env
The usecase is that you have a plugin (probably Go) that you require to be built.
Navigate to where your plugin is and build using a docker volume to mount your code into the image. Since the vendor directory needs to be identical between the gateway build and the plugin build, this means that you should pull the version of this image corresponding to the gateway version you are using.
This also implies that if your plugin has vendored modules that are also used by Tyk gateway then your module will be overridden by the version that Tyk uses.
cd ${GOPATH}/src/tyk-plugin
docker run -v `pwd`:/go/src/plugin-build plugin-build preYou will find a pre.so in the current directory which is the file
that goes into the API definition
This will build the image that will be used in the plugin build step. This section is for only for informational purposes.
In the root of the repo:
docker build --build-arg TYK_GW_TAG=v2.8.4 -t tyk-plugin-build-2.8.4 .TYK_GW_TAG refers to the tag in github corresponding to a released version.
