Habitus

Habitus adds workflows to Docker build. This means you can create a chain of builds to generate your final Docker image based on a workflow. This is particularly useful if your code is in compiled languages like Java or Go or if you need to use secrets like SSH keys during the build.

A build flow tool for Docker

Habitus is a standalone build flow tool for Docker. It’s a command line tool that builds Docker images based on their Dockerfile and a build.yml.

Key features:

• Use build.yml to build the image
• Supports multi-tenancy of builds by using uid parameters
• Allows to run arbitrary commands inside of the build container
• Allows dovetailing (sequencing) of the images from different steps
• After build, Habitus will run Cleanup command. This will result in 'squashing' the image, therefore removing any traces of unwanted layers
• Allows you to define and manage secrets configuration for your build
• Allows you specify any Artifacts - they'll be copied from the built image onto the work directory, so they'll be available for next steps.
• Support for non TLS connections
