Chapter 4. Container images with LLVM Toolset on RHEL 8

On RHEL 8, you can build your own LLVM Toolset container images on top of Red Hat Universal Base Images (UBI) containers using Containerfiles.

4.1. Creating a container image of LLVM Toolset on RHEL 8

On RHEL 8, LLVM Toolset packages are part of the Red Hat Universal Base Images (UBIs) repositories. To keep the container image size small, install only individual packages instead of the entire LLVM Toolset.

Prerequisites

  • An existing Containerfile.
    For information on creating Containerfiles, see the Dockerfile reference page.

Procedure

  • Visit the Red Hat Container Catalog.
  • Select a UBI.
  • Click Get this image and follow the instructions.
  • To create a container image containing LLVM Toolset, add the following lines to your Containerfile:
FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi:latest

RUN yum module install -y llvm-toolset
  • To create a container image containing an individual package only, add the following lines to your Containerfile:

    RUN yum install -y <package-name>
    • Replace <package-name> with the name of the package you want to install.
