Building the Docker image

The lyft/envoy image is a docker image made using build-envoy/Dockerfile-envoy it copies a precompiled envoy binary into a docker image, and installs curl and pip.

The following steps guide you through building your own envoy binary, and putting that in a clean ubuntu container.

Step 1: Build Envoy

Using lyft/envoy-buld you will compile envoy. This image has all software needed to build envoy. From your envoy directory:

$ pwd
src/envoy
$ docker run -t -i -v <SOURCE_DIR>:/source lyft/envoy-build:latest /bin/bash -c "cd /source && ci/do_ci.sh normal"

That command will take some time to run because it is compiling an envoy binary.

Step 2: Build image with only envoy binary

In this step we'll build an image that only has the envoy binary, and none of the software used to build it.

$ pwd
src/envoy/
$ docker build -f example/Dockerfile-envoy-image -t envoy .

Now you can use this envoy image to build the demo if you change the FROM line in Dockerfile-frontenvoy and Dockerfile-service
