== Building containers

To build a container _Docker_ uses a file called +Dockerfile+ http://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/.
*Arquillian Cube* also supports building and running a container from a +Dockerfile+.

To set that *Arquillian Cube* must build the container, the +image+ property must be changed to +buildImage+ and add the location of +Dockerfile+.

Let's see previous example but instead of creating a container from a predefined image, we are going to build one:

[source, yaml]
.arquillian.xml
----
<property name="dockerContainers">
  tomcat:
    buildImage: # <1>
      dockerfileLocation: src/test/resources-tomcat-7-dockerfile/tomcat # <2>
      noCache: true # <3>
      remove: true # <4>
      dockerfileName: my-dockerfile # <5>
    await:
      strategy: polling
    env: [JAVA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8089 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false]
    portBindings: [8089/tcp, 8080/tcp]
</property>
----
<1> +buildImage+ section is used in front of +image+. In case of both sections present in a document, +image+ section has preference over +buildImage+.
<2> +dockerfileLocation+ contains the location of +Dockerfile+ and all files required to build the container.
<3> Property to enable or disable the no cache attribute.
<4> Property to enable or disable the remove attribute.
<5> Property to set the dockerfile name to be used instead of the default ones.

TIP: +dockerfileLocation+ can be a directory that must contains +Dockerfile+ in root directory (in case you don't set _dockerfileName_ property), also a +tar.gz+ file or a _URL_ pointing to a +tar.gz+ file.

An example of +Dockerfile+ is:

[source, properties]
.src/test/resources-tomcat-7-dockerfile/tomcat/Dockerfile
----
FROM tutum/tomcat:7.0

ENV JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8089 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
ADD tomcat-users.xml /tomcat/conf/ # <1>
EXPOSE 8089
CMD ["/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh","run"]
----
<1> +tomcat-users.xml+ file is located at same directory as +Dockerfile+.
