How to force Docker for a clean build of an image

ghz 8months ago ⋅ 79 views

I have build a Docker image from a Docker file using the below command.

$ docker build -t u12_core -f u12_core .

When I am trying to rebuild it with the same command, it's using the build cache like:

Step 1 : FROM ubuntu:12.04
 ---> eb965dfb09d2
Step 2 : MAINTAINER Pavan Gupta <pavan.gupta@gmail.com>
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 4354ccf9dcd8
Step 3 : RUN apt-get update
 ---> Using cache
 ---> bcbca2fcf204
Step 4 : RUN apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jdk
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 103f1a261d44
Step 5 : RUN apt-get install -y openssh-server
 ---> Using cache
 ---> dde41f8d0904
Step 6 : RUN apt-get install -y git-core
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 9be002f08b6a
Step 7 : RUN apt-get install -y build-essential
 ---> Using cache
 ---> a752fd73a698
Step 8 : RUN apt-get install -y logrotate
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 93bca09b509d
Step 9 : RUN apt-get install -y lsb-release
 ---> Using cache
 ---> fd4d10cf18bc
Step 10 : RUN mkdir /var/run/sshd
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 63b4ecc39ff0
Step 11 : RUN echo 'root:root' | chpasswd
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 9532e31518a6
Step 12 : RUN sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin without-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 47d1660bd544
Step 13 : RUN sed 's@session\s*required\s*pam_loginuid.so@session optional pam_loginuid.so@g' -i /etc/pam.d/sshd
 ---> Using cache
 ---> d1f97f1c52f7
Step 14 : RUN wget -O aerospike.tgz 'http://aerospike.com/download/server/latest/artifact/ubuntu12'
 ---> Using cache
 ---> bd7dde7a98b9
Step 15 : RUN tar -xvf aerospike.tgz
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 54adaa09921f
Step 16 : RUN dpkg -i aerospike-server-community-*/*.deb
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 11aba013eea5
Step 17 : EXPOSE 22 3000 3001 3002 3003
 ---> Using cache
 ---> e33aaa78a931
Step 18 : CMD /usr/sbin/sshd -D
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 25f5fe70fa84
Successfully built 25f5fe70fa84

The cache shows that aerospike is installed. However, I don't find it inside containers spawn from this image, so I want to rebuild this image without using the cache. How can I force Docker to rebuild a clean image without the cache?

Answers

To rebuild the Docker image without using the cache, you can use the --no-cache option with the docker build command. This option tells Docker to build the image without using any cache from previous builds.

Here's how you can rebuild your Docker image without using the cache:

$ docker build --no-cache -t u12_core -f u12_core .

By adding --no-cache, Docker will rebuild each step of the Dockerfile from scratch, ensuring that no cached layers are used during the build process. This will result in a clean image without relying on any cached layers.
