How to force Docker for a clean build of an image

问题

I have build a Docker image from a Docker file using the below command.

$ docker build -t u12_core -f u12_core .

When I am trying to rebuild it with the same command, it's using the build cache like:

Step 1 : FROM ubuntu:12.04
 ---> eb965dfb09d2
Step 2 : MAINTAINER Pavan Gupta <pavan.gupta@gmail.com>
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 4354ccf9dcd8
Step 3 : RUN apt-get update
 ---> Using cache
 ---> bcbca2fcf204
Step 4 : RUN apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jdk
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 103f1a261d44
Step 5 : RUN apt-get install -y openssh-server
 ---> Using cache
 ---> dde41f8d0904
Step 6 : RUN apt-get install -y git-core
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 9be002f08b6a
Step 7 : RUN apt-get install -y build-essential
 ---> Using cache
 ---> a752fd73a698
Step 8 : RUN apt-get install -y logrotate
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 93bca09b509d
Step 9 : RUN apt-get install -y lsb-release
 ---> Using cache

Step 10 : RUN mkdir /var/run/sshd

Step 12 : RUN sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin without-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Step 13 : RUN sed 's@session\s*required\s*pam_loginuid.so@session optional pam_loginuid.so@g' -i /etc/pam.d/sshd

Step 14 : RUN wget -O aerospike.tgz 'http://aerospike.com/download/server/latest/artifact/ubuntu12'
 ---> Using cache
 ---> bd7dde7a98b9
Step 15 : RUN tar -xvf aerospike.tgz
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 54adaa09921f
Step 16 : RUN dpkg -i aerospike-server-community-*/*.deb
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 11aba013eea5
Step 17 : EXPOSE 22 3000 3001 3002 3003
 ---> Using cache
 ---> e33aaa78a931
Step 18 : CMD /usr/sbin/sshd -D
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 25f5fe70fa84
Successfully built 25f5fe70fa84

The cache shows that aerospike is installed. However, I don't find it inside containers spawn from this image, so I want to rebuild this image without using the cache. How can I force Docker to rebuild a clean image without the cache?

回答1:

There's a --no-cache option:

docker build --no-cache -t u12_core -f u12_core .

In older versions of Docker you needed to pass --no-cache=true, but this is no longer the case.

回答2:

In some extreme cases, your only way around recurring build failures is by running:

docker system prune

The command will ask you for your confirmation:

WARNING! This will remove:
    - all stopped containers
    - all volumes not used by at least one container
    - all networks not used by at least one container
    - all images without at least one container associated to them
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N]

This is of course not a direct answer to the question, but might save some lives... It did save mine.

回答3:

The command docker build --no-cache . solved our similar problem.

Our Dockerfile was:

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install php5-fpm

But should have been:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install php5-fpm

To prevent caching the update and install separately.

See: Best practices for writing Dockerfiles

回答4:

I would not recommend using --no-cache in your case.

You are running a couple of installations from step 3 to 9 (I would, by the way, prefer using a one liner) and if you don't want the overhead of re-running these steps each time you are building your image you can modify your Dockerfile with a temporary step prior to your wget instruction.

I use to do something like RUN ls . and change it to RUN ls ./ then RUN ls ./. and so on for each modification done on the tarball retrieved by wget

You can of course do something like RUN echo 'test1' > test && rm test increasing the number in 'test1 for each iteration.

It looks dirty, but as far as I know it's the most efficient way to continue benefiting from the cache system of Docker, which saves time when you have many layers...

回答5:

To ensure that your build is completely rebuild, including checking the base image for updates, use the following options when building:

--no-cache - This will force rebuilding of layers already available

--pull - This will trigger a pull of the base image referenced using FROM ensuring you got the latest version.

The full command will therefore look like this:

docker build --pull --no-cache --tag myimage:version .

Same options are available for docker-compose:

docker-compose build --no-cache --pull

回答6:

With docker-compose try docker-compose up -d --build --force-recreate

回答7:

You can manage the builder cache with docker builder

To clean all the cache with no prompt: docker builder prune -af
