qp.labels file

An optional file which can be incorporated into qp build to allow users to append metadata to the docker container created.

Requirements

• place qp.labels file in the applications top level directory. Once qp build is called, it will be picked up and placed in the qpbuild directory.

qp.labels format

General format is displayed below.

LABEL label1="hello world!"
LABEL label.kx.com="foo"
...

Actions by qp

Once qp.labels is found and picked up during qp build, qp will then merge the contents of the file with the Dockerfile.app. You will then be able to view the metadata added to the container by calling the command below.

docker inspect --format='' $INSTANCE_ID
