Docker¶
The PANOPTES utilities are available as a docker image that can be built
locally for testing purposes. We also use containers based off
latest in the Google Cloud Registry (GCR):
Image name: panoptes-utils
Tags: latest and develop.
Tags¶
The panoptes-utils image comes in two separate flavors, or tags,
that serve different purposes.
latest¶
The latest image is typically used to run services or to serve as a
foundational layer for other docker images. It includes all the tools
required to run the various functions with the panoptes-utils
module, including a plate-solver (astrometry.net), sextractor, etc.
The latest image is also used as a base image for the
POCS images.
develop¶
The develop image is used for running the automated tests against
the develop branch. These are run automatically on both GitHub and
Travis for all code pushes but can also be run locally while doing
development.
