The National Archives base Docker images are designed to serve as a starting point for all containerised applications in The National Archives. These base images:

• extend the official Python images
• include common tools used within TNA (Poetry, nvm, Gunicorn, Uvicorn)
• don't run as the root user
• work with the Python frameworks used within TNA (Flask, Django and FastAPI)
• contain healthcheck definitons
• can be customised in terms of their thread counts, worker numbers, log levels etc.
• can build any NodeJS assets as part of their build process
• are linted with hadolint and shellcheck
• can start up development NodeJS scripts to build assets in the background

Images

• tna-python - For generic Python applications (production)
• tna-python-dev - A drop-in replacement for tna-python in development environments

⚠️ tna-python-dev should not be used in production. ⚠️
