Dockerfile ARGs

24 Dockerfile ARGs

You have several options for obtaining TimesTen container images. One of these options is to build your own TimesTen container image. TimesTen provides a Dockerfile for this purpose. For more information about TimesTen container images, see About TimesTen Container Images and Container Registry Options.

The Dockerfile supports a number of ARGs. These ARGs let you override the attributes of the Dockerfile (and its resultant image). You supply these ARGs on the docker build command line.

The following table describes the supported ARGs:
