Docker environment used to build official images and plugins.
This is the base image that will slowly be used in all our builds. It is not capable of handling i386 or arm64 builds. Those builds are handled by installing additional components in the environment section of the pipeline.
This image will need to be updated only when upgrading the go version or if some system dependencies for building change. This image is mainly used internally at Tyk for CD pipelines.
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.
