Airplane supports building a task from a Dockerfile. This is useful if you're already familiar with building Docker images and/or you want to fully customize your runtime environment.

Getting started
To create a new Docker-based task, run airplane init choosing "Create from scratch" and "Dockerfile":

$ airplane init

Once you are ready, deploy it to Airplane with:
11
  airplane deploy -f airplane.yml
This will create a barebones Docker task for you, with a task definition (airplane.yml) and Dockerfile.
When airplane deploy is run, Airplane will build the Docker task for you:
  • Airplane runs docker build using the supplied Dockerfile.
  • The entrypoint will be invoked with (the equivalent of) docker run [image] -- [arguments...].

Example: Redis CLI
This sets up a basic task that can run a redis command (e.g. set) using the Redis Docker image:
