How do I create a Docker remote image with Go?

In this guide, we will create a Docker remote image using Pulumi with Go. We will define a Docker image resource that pulls an image from a remote repository. The steps include setting up Pulumi, defining the Docker image resource, and exporting the image name.

Key points:

• We will use the Pulumi Docker provider.
• We will define a Docker remote image resource.
• We will export the image name for verification.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as docker from "@pulumi/docker";

// Define the remote Docker image
const remoteImage = new docker.RemoteImage("myRemoteImage", {
    name: "nginx:latest", // Specify the image name and tag
    keepLocally: false,   // Optionally keep the image locally
});

// Export the name of the remote image
export const imageName = remoteImage.name;

Key Points

• Pulumi Docker Provider: We use the Pulumi Docker provider to manage Docker resources.
• Remote Image Definition: We define a RemoteImage resource to pull the nginx:latest image from Docker Hub.
• Exported Image Name: We export the image name to verify that the image has been successfully pulled.

Summary

We successfully created a Docker remote image using Pulumi with Go. We defined a RemoteImage resource to pull an image from Docker Hub and exported the image name for verification. This approach can be extended to manage other Docker resources using Pulumi.
