Develop using a local copy of Containerization

This page describes how to build and run container using a local copy of Containerization.

Use the local copy of containerization

1. Clone the Containerization repository such that it sits next to your clone of the container repository.

2. In your development shell, go to the container project directory.

   cd container
   

3. If the application services are already running, stop them.

   bin/container system stop
   

4. Configure the environment variable CONTAINERIZATION_PATH to refer to your Containerization project, and update your Package.resolved file.

   export CONTAINERIZATION_PATH=../containerization
   swift package update containerization
   

5. Build the init filesystem for your local copy of containerization.

   (cd ../swiftcontainerization && make clean all)
   

6. Build container.

   make clean all
   

7. Start the application services.

   bin/container system start
   

Revert to the versioned Containerization package

1. Unset your CONTAINERIZATION_PATH environment variable, and update Package.resolved.

   unset CONTAINERIZATION_PATH
   swift package update containerization
   

2. Rebuild container.

   make clean all
   

3. Restart application services.

   bin/container system restart
