Album Docker

Containerize your Album solutions

This plugin is used to create docker images from solutions. The images can be used to run Album solutions in a docker container.

Installation:

Install Docker on your system. For more information see the Docker documentation.
Install Album.
Activate the Album environment: If you installed Album with the Album installation wizard use one of the following commands to activate your Album environment:
```
micromamba activate -p ~/.album/envs/album
```
If you installed Album manually use following command:
```
conda activate album
```
Install the Album docker plugin:

pip install https://gitlab.com/album-app/plugins/album-docker/-/archive/main/album-docker-main.zip

To create a docker image from a solution run following command:

album docker --solution /path/to/your/solution.py  --output /your/output/path

or:

album docker --solution group:name:version --output_path /your/output/path

solution: The Album solution.py file which should be run inside a container. If you provide the path to a solution.py all files in the directory will be packaged into the docker image and therefore will be available inside a container created by this image.
output: The path where the solution_name_image.tar archive will be saved.

In your output path you will now find an solution_name_image.tar archive which can be loaded into a docker container with the following command:

docker load -i /path/to/image.tar

You can now run the solution inside a container with the following command:

docker run -it --rm -t group_name_version
