This repository contains Docker images with different versions of Python installed. All are based on the consul-template-base image, which comes with Consul Template and other tools like runit installed.

Consul Template runs as a separate service managed by runit.

With Consul Template 0.16, Configuration for it must be stored in the /etc/consul-template.conf file. See its documentation for setup details. Consul Template is turned on by default. If you don't need to use Consul Template, that service needs to be removed explicitly in the Dockerfile that you are writing.

With Consul Template 0.18, you must create your own runit service and use the run-consul-template script to render a template and execute a child process. See an example in the MusicBrainz server.

To use these images simply specify FROM metabrainz/python:<TAG> at the beginning of your Dockerfile. <TAG> is a version of Python that you need to use, followed with the creation date of the image; If an image is updated more than once in a day, then extra tags will also include the sequence number. See the [list of image tags available on Docker Hub|https://hub.docker.com/r/metabrainz/python/tags/].

Use push.sh script. The way it operates is detailed in its heading comments.
