A Leiningen plugin to build and deploy Docker images.

Add docker-deploy to your plugin list in your project.clj:

:plugins [[gorillalabs/lein-docker "1.6.0"]]

(see version badge above for newest release)

Available commands:

$ lein docker build [image-name [additional-arguments ... ]]
$ lein docker push [image-name]
$ lein docker rmi [image-name]

You can add the following configuration options at the root of your project.clj:

:docker {:image-name "myregistry.example.org/myimage"
         :tags ["%s" "latest"] ; %s will splice the project version into the tag
         :dockerfile "target/dist/Dockerfile"
         :build-dir  "target"}

Defaults:

• :image-name is your project's name (without the group ID)
• :tags is your project's version
• :dockerfile points to Dockerfile
• :build-dir points to the project's root

With a CI/CD pipeline such as Jenkins, you may want to generate Docker artifacts tagged against specific properties of a build run. The values in the :docker configuration options may contain bash-like references to environment variables, which will be replaced with values from the environment. For example:

:docker {:image-name "myregistry.example.org/myimage"
         :tags ["%s-${BUILD_NUMBER:-unknown}"]}

Running lein docker build command under Jenkins line will generate an image tagged with the project number and build number (e.g., 1.6.0-306). If BUILD_NUMBER is undefined, as when outside of Jenkins, then the default value ("unknown") will be spliced in instead. If the environment variable expression does not contain a default string and the referenced environment variable is not defined, the expression is replaced with the empty string.

Environment variable injection is supported for the :image-name, :tags, :dockerfile, and :build-dir entries in the project's :docker map.

You can use Leiningen to handle your technical release process. In order to do that with your Docker image instead of your plain jar file, configure your release tasks similar to that:

:release-tasks [["vcs" "assert-committed"]
                ["change" "version" "leiningen.release/bump-version" "release"]
                ["vcs" "commit"]
                ["vcs" "tag"]
                ["clean"]
                ["uberjar"]
                ["docker" "build"]
                ["docker" "push"]
                ["change" "version" "leiningen.release/bump-version"]
                ["vcs" "commit"]
                ["vcs" "push"]]
