[Starlingx-discuss] Note: no longer possible to build Docker images directly on StarlingX hosts, need to use a K8s pod.

[Chris Friesen]

Hi all,

Back in late November we merged 
https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/config-files/+/865329 which 
removed the default docker network bridge as in some install sites the 
default IP address was colliding with an address already in use in their 
network.  StarlingX no longer runs containers with docker, so there was 
no functional impact to the platform itself.

However, it does mean that it's no longer possible to build docker 
images on bare metal on StarlingX nodes.  That said, it should be 
possible to work around this by creating a Kubernetes pod using a 
suitable container image, obtaining a shell within that pod, and running 
docker within the container.
