Hi team We are using linux based images in database. Is there is any specific reasons or why we did not built images on Debian or alpine ?
e
Hi @creamy-van-28626 would you mind clarifying your question a bit? Are you referring to Docker images?
c
Yup the images from docker hub you using are linux based right ?
Is there is reason for using linux based images ?
e
They use alpine
At least the non-python based ones
For python based images, we cannot use alpine unfortunately
c
So we have acryl actions image which python based and other one are alpine right ?
e
Yes!
c
Like when we are using UI for front end ingestion it happens from acryl actions image which has all snowflake plugins . But how it works when we are ingesting metadata by setting up a cron job ? How ingestion job has required snowflake plugins ? It's a job not pod right ?
e
Yes but it uses the datahub-ingestion image to do so which has the same problem
c
So the datahub ingestion image is python one and over that snowflake plugins has been installed ?
e
yes
c
So for mounting glossary file we can mount it over datahub ingestion image itself ?
e
The image is just a python base image with the required libraries installed. You can use it to do any cli tasks
c
Okay got it
Thanks
