Preface
As a part of the Red Hat Software Collections offering, Red Hat provides a number of container images, which are based on the corresponding Software Collections. These include application, daemon, and database images. The provided images are detailed in tables
You can use these images in a containerized environment to build, deploy, and run your applications.
For more information on containers and container images, see the Core Concepts of the OpenShift Enterprise 3.0 Architecture, which discusses core concepts and methods related to delivering containerized applications.
For more information on Software Collections, see the Red Hat Software Collections and Red Hat Developer Toolset documentation.
Running Red Hat Software Collections container images is supported only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. You cannot run the images on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Workstation or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or earlier.
When using SELinux for controlling processes within a container, make sure that any content that is volume mounted into the container is readable, and potentially writable, depending on the use case. For more information, see Using Volumes With the docker Container Can Cause Problems With SELinux.
There are two basic approaches that you can take to use the container images shipped with Red Hat Software Collections: using base images or using Source-to-Image.
