Quay Development Container

The instructions below describe how to create and setup a container for working with local source changes and testing. It is meant for a developer familiar with python, javascript, and the tools associated with development.

Quay Source

For convenience, the environment variable QUAY_DEVEL_HOME will be referenced for locations of the parent directory for source and other directories.

The directory $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay is your development git checkout of quay.

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
git checkout github.com/quay/quay.git

For local storage, create the directory where images will be written to disk.

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
mkdir quay-storage

The Quay config app should be previously run and the resulting quay-config.tar.gz expanded into place. This file is copied into this directory for convenience only: Keeping it available will allow upload into the config app for modifications later.

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
mkdir quay-config
cp ~/Downloads/quay-config.tar.gz $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay-config/quay-config.tar.gz
tar xvf $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay-config/quay-config.tar.gz -C $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay-config

Building Development Container

Build an image in a clean git checkout of master branch. It's important not to do this in your own development directory as there may be files that conflict or break a clean build.

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay
docker build -t quay:devel -f Dockerfile .

Run Development Container

Note: Assumptions are that the config app has successfully run and database is available. This can be done via regular user documentation and using the quay:devel image built above.

docker run --rm --name quay \
    -v $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay-config:/conf/stack \
    -v $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay-storage:/datastorage \
    -v $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay:$QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -p 8443:8443 \
    -p 9092:9092 \
    -e QUAY_DEVEL_HOME=$QUAY_DEVEL_HOME \
    quay:devel

This will start the quay container and be fully running. The web UI is available at port 8443.

Switch Services to Development

Inside the Container

When exec'ing into the development container, it is best to run under the SCLs used during production. This will provide the correct paths to python and other executables.

docker exec --rm -it quay scl enable python27 rh-nginx112 bash

The following sections are perhaps easiest to run in separate docker exec sessions, which is how they will be described. Some or all could be run in the background and managed differently than described here.

Stop Services

When running the quay container, all regular services are started by default. In order to run a service locally, stopping the default is important. Below are the steps for developing the web UI and web backend python service.

Stop services:

supervisorctl -c /quay-registry/conf/supervisord.conf stop gunicorn-web

Change the web resources to devel location:

cd /quay-registry
mv static static.bak
ln -s $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/static

Build web assets:

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
mkdir -p static/webfonts
mkdir -p static/fonts
mkdir -p static/ldn
PYTHONPATH=. python -m external_libraries

yarn build

Run Migrations

If $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME/quay, which presumably has your local code changes, has migrations, special care should be taken when switching between different versions of code.

To run a migration:

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
PYTHONPATH=. alembic upgrade 5248ddf35167

To revert a migration:

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
PYTHONPATH=. alembic downgrade -1

Web UI Assets

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
yarn build && npm run watch

Run Web Server

cd $QUAY_DEVEL_HOME
PYTHONPATH=. gunicorn -c conf/gunicorn_web.py web:application
