YugabyteDB Docker image

create a YugabyteDB Docker image with custom uid / gid
 211  1 min

The default YugabyteDB Docker image from Docker Hub runs the database as a root user.

I need to run it as a non-root user and there is no release Docker image Dockerfile available in YugabyteDB repositories.

So I’ve created my own and here it is.

FROM centos:7.9.2009 as builder
ARG YB_VERSION=2.7.1.1
RUN yum update -y && yum install -y wget curl \
&& wget https://downloads.yugabyte.com/yugabyte-${YB_VERSION}-linux.tar.gz -O /yugabyte-${YB_VERSION}-linux.tar.gz
FROM centos:7.9.2009
ARG GID=1060
ARG GROUPNAME=myybuser
ARG UID=1060
ARG USERNAME=myybuser
ARG YB_VERSION=2.7.1.1
RUN groupadd -g ${GID} ${GROUPNAME} \
&& useradd -m -d /home/${USERNAME} -g ${GID} -u ${UID} -s /bin/bash ${USERNAME}
COPY --from=builder /yugabyte-${YB_VERSION}-linux.tar.gz /home/${USERNAME}/yugabyte-${YB_VERSION}-linux.tar.gz
RUN tar xvfz /home/${USERNAME}/yugabyte-${YB_VERSION}-linux.tar.gz -C /home/${USERNAME} --strip 1 \
&& /home/${USERNAME}/bin/post_install.sh \
&& chown -R ${USERNAME}:${GROUPNAME} /home/${USERNAME} \
&& ln -s /home/${USERNAME}/bin/yb-admin /usr/local/bin/yb-admin \
