----------------------------------------
Summary: Need to add REMOVE semantics to the copy backend
Key: MESOS-5277
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5277
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Bug
Components: containerization
Environment: linux
Reporter: Avinash Sridharan
Assignee: Gilbert Song
Some Dockerfile run the `rm` command to remove files from the base image using
the "RUN" directive in the Dockerfile. An example can be found here:
https://github.com/ngineered/nginx-php-fpm.git
In the final rootfs the removed files should not be present. Presence of these
files in the final image can make the container misbehave. For example, the
nginx-php-fpm docker image that is reference tries to remove the default nginx
config and replace it with it own config to point a different HTML root. If the
default nginx config is still present after the building the image, nginx will
start pointing to a different HTML root than the one set in the Dockerfile.
Currently the copy backend cannot handle removal of files from intermediate
layers. This can cause issues with docker images built using a Dockerfile
similar to the one listed here. Hence, we need to add REMOVE semantics to the
copy backend.
