Query on creating custom docker images

assubramania — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 02:28:45 GMT

Hi, I have some questions regarding creating the custom docker images.

1. Is it possible to create the custom docker images not using the war room? In the docs, the docker images can be created via war room command, but I want to create docker image in the soar server using the ssh connection.
Is it okay to create the custom docker image at the server side?
(https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XSOAR/6.10/Cortex-XSOAR-Administrator-Guide/Create-a-Docker-Image-In-Cortex-XSOAR)

2. when creating the docker images, the name must include the localhost?
for example, localhost.local/directory/container_name

3. Is it possible to add any library module and any packages in python? Is there any restriction to adding it?

Hey there,

on v6 it is pretty easy

/docker_image_create is the command you are looking for
please check the details to see how it works
Normally it looks something like this
/docker_image_create name=TestImage base="demisto/python3-deb:3.8.2.6981" dependencies=pandas
Before you do I would encourage you to check this
https://github.com/demisto/dockerfiles-info
maybe we have what you are looking for already in stock 🙂
This also works for v8 of course

As a site note, if you need more than one dependency it could make sense to split your tasks into several scripts and just let them work together in the playbook flow.
Given the hardening of docker images it can also avoid hitting these hardening limits
