# Installation Guide

1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/pwaller/docker-show-context

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd docker-show-context

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Docker

Easy Recommended

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Docker Desktop Needed to build and run containers. Install it and keep it running in the background.

docker build -t docker-show-context https://github.com/pwaller/docker-show-context.git

Builds a runnable image based on the Dockerfile.

docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data docker-show-context

Runs the built image as an actual container.

git clone https://github.com/pwaller/docker-show-context

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd docker-show-context

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

$ cd ~/path/to/project/using/docker

Type this command into your terminal and run it.

✅ Run docker compose ps to check the containers are Up. If the README mentions a port, open http://localhost:PORT in your browser.

3. Go

Medium

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Go The Go compiler and toolchain.

GO111MODULE=on go install -v

Type this command into your terminal and run it.

✅ If the build finishes without errors, it worked. If you used go run ., check the terminal output.

# `docker-show-context`

Ever wonder why docker pauses when you do `docker build`, and what you can do
about it? You know, when it says `Sending build context to Docker daemon`?

This program shows where time and bytes are spent when building a docker context.

It is based directly on the same logic that Docker itself uses to build the
context.

## Getting started (docker):

```sh
docker build -t docker-show-context https://github.com/pwaller/docker-show-context.git
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data docker-show-context
```

## Getting started (binaries):

Binaries are available on the
[releases page](https://github.com/pwaller/docker-show-context/releases).
Just grab the binary and put it in your path, then invoke it as
`docker-show-context`. Use at your own risk.

## Getting started (building from source):

You will need go 1.11 or more recent, which can be obtained from
[the go website](https://golang.org/dl).

Then run:

```
git clone https://github.com/pwaller/docker-show-context
cd docker-show-context
GO111MODULE=on go install -v
```

# What the output looks like

The output looks something like this. It's easy to see now that I accidentally
included some large binary content (`*.deb` and `*.pdf` files in particular),
so I can now go and add those to my `.dockerignore` or delete them.

```
$ cd ~/path/to/project/using/docker
$ docker-show-context
Scanning local directory (in tar / on disk):
  24 / 1057 (62 / 216 MiB) (0.0s elapsed) .. completed

Excluded by .dockerignore: 1033 files totalling 153.98 MiB

Final .tar:
  24 files totalling 61.83 MiB (+ 0.02 MiB tar overhead)
  Took 0.04 seconds to build

# Notes about the current behaviour

This documents the current behaviour, which may not be ideal, but it is what it
is for now. Pull requests welcome.

* The amounts shown don't show recursive usage, they just show a single level
  of the directory. (Otherwise, the root would always be the biggest thing).

* Time records the amount of time between `tarFile.Next()` calls. I assume that
  this approximates the amount of time `docker/pkg/archive` spent constructing
  one tar entry. It might not be precise.

* "Total content" shows the uncompressed bytes inside files inside the tar.
  The total amount sent to the docker daemon is this amount plus the tar
  overhead.

* At this moment, only running with the build context root as the current
  working directory is supported, with a dockerfile named `Dockerfile`.
  Pull requests welcome to add parameters, so long as the existing default
  behaviour is preserved.

# How can I use this to make building faster?

Frequently, I find that `docker build` suddenly takes longer than I expect. It
is often the case that I have accidentally included some binaries or something
which I did not intend to include. This the purpose of this tool is to give
visibility into this, taking into account your existing `.dockerignore`,
so that you can improve your `.dockerfile` or delete assets you don't need.

It scratches an itch.
