Hello channel, I'm planning to write a custom docker image for airbyte due to security requirements within our infrastructure at as we are unable to use the community Docker images directly. I need to build a custom Docker image that complies with our artifactory security protocols. Could anyone please provide community Dockerfile or any related guidance on constructing a custom Docker image for Airbyte? Access to this would greatly assist us in ensuring compliance and maintaining security standards. Thank you for your support and looking forward to your guidance! thanku

Hello! I'd be happy to provide some guidance on creating a custom Docker image for Airbyte that complies with your security requirements. Based on the information available, here are some key points to consider: 1. Custom Connector Approach: Airbyte supports the use of custom connectors, which can be packaged in Docker images and hosted in private registries. This approach is ideal for internal use cases like yours, where specific security protocols need to be followed. [Uploading Docker-based custom connectors](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-custom-connectors) 2. Dockerfile Example: While Airbyte recommends using their

airbyte-ci

tool for building connectors, they also provide an example Dockerfile for custom builds. Here's a basic template you can start with:

dockerfile FROM airbyte/python-connector-base:1.1.0  COPY . ./airbyte/integration_code RUN pip install ./airbyte/integration_code  # The entrypoint and default env vars are already set in the base image # ENV AIRBYTE_ENTRYPOINT "python /airbyte/integration_code/main.py" # ENTRYPOINT ["python", "/airbyte/integration_code/main.py"]

Base Image Consideration: For Python connectors, Airbyte recommends using their base image (`docker.io/airbyte/python-connector-base`) for security reasons. You might want to consider pulling this image into your private registry and using it as a base for your custom image.

Private Registry: You'll need to set up a private Docker registry to host your custom images. Airbyte provides guidance on creating and using private registries with various cloud providers. [Create a private Docker registry](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-custom-connectors#1-create-a-private-docker-registry) 5. Authentication: Ensure that your Airbyte instance is authenticated to pull from your private Docker registry. This step is crucial for maintaining your security protocols. [Use your custom Docker connector in Airbyte](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-custom-connectors#4-use-your-custom-docker-connector-in-airbyte) 6. Configuration: You may need to modify Airbyte's configuration to work with your custom setup. For Docker deployments, this typically involves modifying the

.env

file. For Kubernetes deployments, you'll need to adjust the

values.yaml

file. [Configuring Airbyte](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/configuring-airbyte) Remember to thoroughly test your custom image to ensure it meets both your security requirements and functions correctly with Airbyte. If you need more specific guidance, you might want to consult with Airbyte's documentation or reach out to their support channels for detailed assistance tailored to your exact setup and requirements.
