dim_eccodes_baseimage

This repository contains the Dockerfile for the base image used by wis2box-api, providing a pre-compiled version of the eccodes library to enable data-conversion capabilities within wis2box.

The baseimage can also be used to gain access to the eccodes command-line tools without requiring the installation of the eccodes library on the host machine.

Note that the image does not track eccodes releases, but is updated on a case-by-case basis.

Building and using the baseimage

docker build -t dim_eccodes_baseimage .

To run the baseimage and share a directory with data on the host machine:

docker run -it -v /path/to/data:/data dim_eccodes_baseimage /bin/bash

Within the baseimage you can run the following command to check the version of the eccodes library:

bufr_dump -V

To run bufr_dump on a file in the shared directory:

bufr_dump /data/your_file.bufr
