Recommended update for docker
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for docker
Docker was updated to 1.5.0 (2015-02-10) [bnc#917647] bringing new
features and bugfixes:
* Builder:
- Dockerfile to use for a given `docker build` can be specified with
the `-f` flag
- Dockerfile and .dockerignore files can be themselves excluded as part
of the .dockerignore file, thus preventing modifications to these
files invalidating ADD or COPY instructions cache
- ADD and COPY instructions accept relative paths
- Dockerfile `FROM scratch` instruction is now interpreted as a
no-base specifier
- Improve performance when exposing a large number of ports
* Hack:
- Allow client-side only integration tests for Windows
- Include docker-py integration tests against Docker daemon as part of
our test suites
* Packaging:
- Support for the new version of the registry HTTP API
- Speed up `docker push` for images with a majority of already
existing layers
- Fixed contacting a private registry through a proxy
* Remote API:
- A new endpoint will stream live container resource metrics and can
be accessed with the `docker stats` command
- Containers can be renamed using the new `rename` endpoint and the
associated `docker rename` command
- Container `inspect` endpoint show the ID of `exec` commands running
in this container
- Container `inspect` endpoint show the number of times Docker
auto-restarted the container
- New types of event can be streamed by the `events` endpoint:
âOOMâ (container died with out of memory), âexec_createâ,
and âexec_start'
- Fixed returned string fields which hold numeric characters
incorrectly
omitting surrounding double quotes
* Runtime:
- Docker daemon has full IPv6 support
- The `docker run` command can take the `--pid=host` flag to use the
host PID namespace, which makes it possible for example to debug
host processes using containerized debugging tools
- The `docker run` command can take the `--read-only` flag to make the
containerâs root filesystem mounted as readonly, which can be used
in combination with volumes to force a containerâs processes to
only write to locations that will be persisted
- Container total memory usage can be limited for `docker run` using
the `âmemory-swap` flag
- Major stability improvements for devicemapper storage driver
- Better integration with host system: containers will reflect changes
to the host's `/etc/resolv.conf` file when restarted
- Better integration with host system: per-container iptable rules are
moved to the DOCKER chain
- Fixed container exiting on out of memory to return an invalid exit
code
* Other:
- The HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY environment variables are
properly taken into account by the client when connecting to the
Docker daemon
