Build images that are described in werf.yaml.

The result of build command is built images pushed into the specified repo (or locally if repo is not specified).

If one or more IMAGE_NAME parameters specified, werf will build only these images.

Syntax

werf build [IMAGE_NAME...] [options]

Examples

  # Build images, built stages will be placed locally
  $ werf build

  # Build image 'backend'
  $ werf build backend

  # Build and enable drop-in shell session in the failed assembly container in the case when an error occurred
  $ werf build --introspect-error

  # Build images and store/use stages from repo
  $ werf build --repo harbor.company.io/werf

Environments

  $WERF_DEBUG_ANSIBLE_ARGS  Pass specified cli args to ansible ($ANSIBLE_ARGS)

Options

      --add-custom-tag=[]
            Set tag alias for the content-based tag.
            The alias may contain the following shortcuts:
            - %image%, %image_slug% or %image_safe_slug% to use the image name (necessary if there  
            is more than one image in the werf config);
            - %image_content_based_tag% to use a content-based tag.
            For cleaning custom tags and associated content-based tag are treated as one.
            Also can be defined with $WERF_ADD_CUSTOM_TAG_* (e.g.                                   
            $WERF_ADD_CUSTOM_TAG_1="%image%-tag1", $WERF_ADD_CUSTOM_TAG_2="%image%-tag2")
      --allowed-docker-storage-volume-usage=70
            Set allowed percentage of docker storage volume usage which will cause cleanup of least 
            recently used local docker images (default 70% or                                       
            $WERF_ALLOWED_DOCKER_STORAGE_VOLUME_USAGE)
      --allowed-docker-storage-volume-usage-margin=5
            During cleanup of least recently used local docker images werf would delete images      
            until volume usage becomes below "allowed-docker-storage-volume-usage -                 
            allowed-docker-storage-volume-usage-margin" level (default 5% or

            Set allowed percentage of local cache (~/.werf/local_cache by default) volume usage     
            which will cause cleanup of least recently used data from the local cache (default 70%  
            or $WERF_ALLOWED_LOCAL_CACHE_VOLUME_USAGE)
      --allowed-local-cache-volume-usage-margin=5
            During cleanup of least recently used local docker images werf would delete images
