Looking for an official Docker container from the Backblaze team.

Hi

Manual installation:

I tried to run it a container and it works perfectly. Here is how I installed it manually.

# Run Node container
docker run -dit --name b2cli \
python:alpine sh && \

# Connect into Node container
docker exec -it b2cli sh;

# Alpine preparation
apk update && \
apk upgrade && \
apk add git

# Install b2cli
git clone https://github.com/Backblaze/B2_Command_Line_Tool.git && \
cd B2_Command_Line_Tool && \
python setup.py install

# See version
b2 version
        # b2 command line tool, version 0.7.3

Looking for:

Now, I don't want to preserve the accountId & applicationKey in the container of even on the host for security reasons.

I'm looking for a Docker container where we could pass the accountId & applicationKey as vars (or even better via Docker secrets).

Is it in you plans to build one?

Thank you in advance! P.S. Actually using rclone and Arq with backblaze.

A docker container would be great. I'm wondering if there's a way for the build on Travis CI to build it.

Would you be interested in giving it a try? There's a bunch of helpful people here who can answer questions and offer advice. And it would be great for you to join us.

I'd like to. What do I need to do?

I think the pull request for adding the docker container is in review already, I've seen someone working on it a few weeks ago. Let me check on the progress of it.

@msrumon #859 has just been merged. Would you like to take it for a spin before we upload the image to dockerhub?

Thanks. I'll have a look at it tonight.

@ppolewicz So this is what I got:

$ docker build -t b2 -f Dockerfile.template .
#2 [internal] load .dockerignore
#2 sha256:26e50c2af136e7306f3fc12dbaca52d68db3787fa40f913772706d842ed38143
#2 transferring context: 2B done
#2 DONE 0.1s

#1 [internal] load build definition from Dockerfile.template
#1 sha256:b0a839afa4fa1926fdf0eba013485fd049a3929916357103db6286593bebcd6b
#1 transferring dockerfile: 876B done
#1 DONE 0.2s
failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: dockerfile parse error line 26: unknown instruction: ${FILES_USED_BY_TESTS}

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

[ppolewicz]

@msrumon you should run nox -s docker to create the Dockerfile and then you can run that

Also please note that if you edit a github issue comment, no notifications are sent. I only noticed your message by accident.

Oops! 😬

Is nox some kind of CLI I have to install? Look, I don't work with Python and I barely have any stack installed natively on my PC. I run everything off of Docker (Yes, all my projects are maintained with Docker Compose file).

I'll try to use this image to generate that Dockerfile in question. Wish me luck. 🤞

[ppolewicz]

nox can be installed with pip3 install nox - it's a development tool we use in this project to run tests, build documentation etc - and now also to build a docker image.

[ianthetechie]

I'm a bit confused; the project README now contains a reference to an official docker image, but there's nothing I can find on docker hub, and pulling the image listed doesn't work. It would be great if you were a verified OSS publisher or something too for trust reasons.

[ppolewicz]

it's been built but not published so that we could catch any bugs in it and we've found some. Now that those are addressed, we'll publish it.

[ianthetechie]

Fantastic; thanks for the update @ppolewicz!
